Still

Still

 

I want you as the morning stills, birds not

yet singing their songs, clouds still unformed, hiding

beneath the red horizon, waiting.

 

I want you as the noon shines down, blaring

like a trumpet’s call, paws and feet pounding

against the soft and hardened ground.

 

I want you as the sky turns to gray turns

to black, and stars begin to swirl, as the dust settles

for the night, ready to rise again day after day.

  1. “Still” is a favorite… nicely presented here; your spacing and cadence are quite interesting, lending a timelessness to the unresolved endpoint (‘day after day ‘) you wrote
