Today
(a 55)
Today is an old day,
leaking
the passed night's rain,
almost with its dawn already
yesterday,
faded replicant of another supplicant.
I'd throw it away, used-up as
a broken comb, a flared match
fired once to light something gone,
except
the birds
greet it with such celebration
singing
their soft explosions
above the autumn seeds.
