The Book of Days

 

The dawn’s early light can be pleasure enough for the whole day.

There are words enough to tell the story of “the temptation of day to come.”

It is my delight to write some of them for your delectation.

 

 

a tasting

 

…the second look is the keeper.

 

The clouds are shifting shapes,

moving quickly

   across the new morning sky,

the smudge and fold of flannel,

becoming flan,

nudging the smear

   of cream sauce,

filling the sky

   with hasty pudding

      and the like,

making a menu

   that lasts mere moments…
