the morning began with rain
the morning began with rain
and my usual disposition
woke as vague as the day
these morose clouds and
invisible suns
grey flowers of ash
and sooted plants
curtains to my sobriety
still insipid as disposed
my yawn and zeal
it is now close to may
and april has seen its
little sun and much rain
how they fall like
petals frail
forgotten like the
hidden moon
which watch by day
it shades like blue
and by night
lumed by none
and muted days
