Poem from Four quarters: an homage to T.S. Elliot's Four Quarters, by Lana Hechtman Ayers.
Burnt Love
IV
Sun and birdsong have awakened the day,
pale blue skies that wash stars away.
Will the dog lick our faces, will the puss
jump up, into our laps, baby of furn,
nuzzle and purr?
Steamy
wisps of fresh-brewed coffee curl
up to us? After the shower's massaging spray
has answered skin to skin, and we're clean, unstill.
At the unstill source of this stirring world.
