The Gray Dawn
The gray dawn slaughters
the promise of spring,
—with a desperate last goodbye
Its poisonous haze mocks
a sky forsaken,
—with the sun again denied
Its blanket then lowers
in a shroud of judgment,
—its verdict darkly stained
To deluge its exit
in torrents of thunder,
—as the light reflects in vain
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
