Already Wednesday |
I’ve known serenity
from the revolution in my heart,
from upheaval during curfew,
listening to the rain
through an open window.
Telling myself to hold fast
to wait for daylight,
for the fire of dreams,
for birth. Out there
in cobalt
and on the way here tonight
the car didn't hesitate,
you see,
it couldn't:
even though the lightening webbed
side to side in the dark air,
my foot was control
my arms were direction
my mind---a strategy.
Spinning reckless
post war / cold war / world war / no war / our war
in my livingroom.
Through this opening
I now see MY war,
its faddish
haze
changed a world that had to change
changes a world that had to change...
it’s already Wednesday.
