Kit Kelen #96 - with first light


96
with first light


before a sun says
notice little things that have bitten 


still dim
but insects are all up


early in hours
a day is all that's yet not yet


still it gets into everything
you'd have to draw the blinds


while the dew's
still with the ground


corners peep in
traffic has begun


the branch-to-branch
delight in transports


webs will need
a stick to pass


footsteps stir wings, frogs leap
many times their height


(that's how small they are)
and greener!


squaring all the round of day
thrum under hearing's threshold


the ants long since
like tiny tractors


taunting sun with
'go on, bastard, rise!'
