CAUGHT BETWEEN THE SUNRISE AND THE PAGE-A poem [Sat, 7-21-18]



I am caught between
The sunrise and the page

Knowing I should watch
The sky’s edge for a pastel signal

Knowing I should write
The signal down in darkest ink

So as the prophet says
Those who run may read it

There are no runners here
On this narrow patio

Nor readers, still I fear
That caught between

The sunrise and the page
I shall miss the sunset

And the word
