THOUGHTS ON A SEPTEMBER MORNING


Then there are
these perfect little hours
before the rooster’s song
when morning still hangs in the air
lightly,
like a cloud above this city

The new insight
is about loss,
the unfed children,
the weight of a butterfly
the unwed women
and memories that will not die

The patter of rain
in the empty schoolyard,
the bell gone silent,
yet flowers grow through cracks in the pavement

To be like the lilac,
head still heavy with sleep,
or as the sea,
passing yet unchanged,
refusing no river,
is all that should ever really matter
