the small things i keep, a poem


the quiet morning. pale skies. waiting for the fog of sleep to lift

everything feels numbered these days
lunches with my my friends

the commutes to work that i take for granted
the way the sun looks at five
the clouds bursting in pinks and oranges

the way the sirens blare in this country

i hold these moments tight
like the morning awaiting would plummet me into darkness
instead of the suns radiant light
