here’s the living day

 

here’s light

 

good day to you birds and others

 

have you worn this morning’s whim?

 

I know some wake to nothing, rubble

even that can be taken away

by the great paw

 

sometimes rains down fire

then say sweetly

thanks ye gods

 

there’s our phenomenal consumption of sky

the mess we leave

the space we take up

the eye for eye

 

the green and the blue flag wrap –

ambition

 

have you seen the toes today?

will you wake the bones to be?

 

do you think we can get away with it?

 

far deep in the where-we-are
