1002
aubade
where winter was 
too hot, too cold 
bedded between seasons 
till the roof 
beyond the walls 
the shift is changing
bats pre-dawn flit, birds begin 
voices only yet 
and they will sing a sun up
by radar just missing 
veranda-head me 
all minded of windows 
for first to see 
till the roof 
beyond the walls 
outlines a little breeze 
all their world out of this Zeus head 
sprung with shield 
tell tunefuly 
summer of the coming day 
must make own darkness now
till the roof 
beyond the walls 
my kingdom 
and call 
in other words 
to which I wake 
fashion here 
for home
 
if you build it, it will come
