By Thomas Page
Grief blooms like wild
Flowers; their petals slowly
Fall onto living earth.
Rawls says a mighty
Tower must be built upon
Reinforced steel beams.
The dawn has many
Names—Aurora, eos, day
Break; different each day.
Feel the brown leaf in
Your hand, hear how it crackles,
See how it lays there.
The sun will rise, the
Sun will set, the moon will rise
The moon will set; Time.
