There is hardly a worse phrase
Or a worse feeling
Than day one
It is heavy, like a rock
swallowed whole;
An interrupted clock
Re-wound, reset
For what seems the
Hundredth time
Day one since…
It echoes in the mind,
A painful peal reverberating
Through the cavernous halls
Of the heart –
Newly empty
Empty, save the wine
Spilled by guests
Who left too soon
