IN THE MORNING YOU ALWAYS COME BACK, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The glimmer of dawn / breathes with your mouth
Last Line: You are light and morning.
Subject(s): Morning; Rebirth; Waking


The glimmer of dawn
breathes with your mouth
at the end of empty streets.
The gray light of your eyes—
sweet drops of dawn
on the dark hills.
Your step and your breath
flood over the houses
like wind at daybreak.
The city quivers,
stones scent the air—
you are life, renewal.

A star eclipsed
by the light of dawn,
a creaking breeze,
warmth, breath—
the night is finished.

You are light and morning.
