It’s Sunday, and the sky is glowing pink again;
doesn't the sun realize
it isn't time?
According to the automatic
clock in my computer
(not the one in my kitchen, which apparently
got ahead of itself, somehow, in the night)
it's only 6 am. The moon knows --
she’s still hanging in the trees,
waiting for the branches to lower her to the sea
but they're confused:
it's hard to pick her out
when the sky's so light, so early,
and what if they forget
and leave her
hanging there, resting in the eagle's nest,
vulnerable to his claws should he return
and find her
cluttering his space --
oh, wait,
I see her slide into the
sea all by herself,
all pink
with effort to escape and yet still fading,
overpowered by the dawn...
