JUST ANOTHER DAY

the darkness
felt uneasy
shifted within itself

a darker piece of darkness
giving way to
a lighter piece of darkness

as if the night
was peeling away
bit by bit

until the day began
to bleed through
and through it

the day now neither
one thing or the other
trapped between times

caught in a tree's branches
as reality began
to grab hold of itself

a church now
starting to reveal
what it once was

and now
is
once again

as slowly a town
unfolded its streets
dawn greeting its many birds

until there was
nothing but the daylight
the darkness nowhere to be seen
