Days

 



Days are the harvest of time. Each, like a segment

of film-strip lit with its own light and,

for all the seriousness that fill them,

they are as delicate as the dandelion seeds that stream in

their billions through a bright summer’s afternoon.


Turn your palms down, look at the parchment

on the backs of your hands; a certificate of life.

You carry it; it stays with you, ends with you;

a reason to celebrate for today all our days are this one day;

it is an exhilaration to be.
