This Day |
This day is no special day |
This day will see no placards given |
This day will see no dismembered limbs |
Yet there buzzes about a distant chainsaw |
Whose sound comes in and out on the timid wind |
This day is a slow gesture |
This day is just clearly not ready |
It hopes for a year of vibrant clarity |
But waits for the cues from the coming weeks |
And fumbles and stares blankly |
It’s not clear how this day will end |
But I have put my money down |
On having a clear view from this house to the heavens and back again |
It’s not clear how this day will end |
This day heaves like a cold engine |
With a tank of old gasoline |
Live your mornings on ether |
And tremble with anticipation as the sun goes down |
