Bugles Shake the Dawn

Moonbeams spun on cobwebs
laced through with dew.

Daybreak bugles
then burgles
as light enters its brazen domain.

Old Horace
wakes from his untidy cot;

an uncertain pause, then:

carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero,

for cobwebs, like tomorrow, are frail
and this day is a blade
to seize as you may.
