i pedal predawn streets
yellow globes
of lampglow
along the canals
dark the windows
and doors
so me
ti me
s birdsong and brightness
so me
ti me
s the pendulum of stars and moon
so me
ti me
s such a hiss and spit of rain
so me
ti me
s thewindandthewindandthewindandthewind
every corner
gathers its ghosts
reminding us
the living
to live
