Wilderberry

I am unknown.
Through my window the barren winter brings light to
the brevity of all life’s elements.
Where can you hide?
The idealists seize the day and the elderly pass away in front of TVs.
The young do that, too.
This morning I saw the slightest slice of a slightly less gray dawn
and found it stunning.
The thin streak of creamy yellow just above a flake of pale pink,
passing. I couldn’t take my eyes away.
Couldn’t conceive squeezing my body between the dull walls we call day.
But it always goes.
All things are fleeting it’s just our favored we take note of.
