Dawn to dusk
I long for you
I split the atoms
I reap the sows

Candidly I vow
To let bygones be blanket stars
And caterpillars be free from ground
Have mercy but show none

I zip the blues
Mark the notes
Discontent
Felt deeply in my bones

To be free is one thing to behold
To cauterize wounds of ancient toils
Look on lovers as a child looks for toys
Never content
Always on the prowl

But I digress
From dawn to dusk
Or twilight to starlight
From eyes as watered as a full blown moon

I digress from past mischiefs
Mistakes and abhorrent veils
That mask my face
Clouded
Older
Preserved for two

Soon we’ll be better
Braver than the beaches of ‘44
Glee and gloom will be ours to own
From dawn to dusk
In body and soul
