Before the sun rises the first day of school

the only sounds in the house are the fish tanks

as it bubbles, the rush of the river outside the window,

and the soft motor of the cat as she makes biscuits on my lap.

Hope always comes easier

when it’s morning.

When birds are already weaving

was it only hours ago

how darkness poured over you

like oil in the ocean.

Nothing seemed possible then.

But here is the bright red neck

of morning, humming through

shadows on emerald wings,

and here you are,

rising to meet it, not

because you want to, but

because something in you rises

and carries you with it into the day.

the place she needs me most

say, too

*

rushing out
to smell the morning
before its gone
there will be other mornings
but only one like this
