Every passing day (Day 1279)


To the south   rain threatens

looming darkly   and when 

the clouds finally break 

the drops tap   urgent fingers   


on our windows   dissolving 

into liquid gray twilight   

depleted by the storm   

the mind falters   wears thin   


longs to turn to the west 

bronzed and mellow in the sun 

and still   the days arrive   

one after another   


each revealing answers 

to questions best posed 

only in sleep   and those 

indecipherable messages   


even were we willing to admit 

to their truth   ask more   

and more   of us

with every passing day
