this day lifts off on an Atlas booster
a rage of clouds marks its rise
to accompaniment of orchestral thunder
into sea-blue skies
….. it heads up from under

distant song of a crowing rooster,
its daybreak cries— a day slips by
of routine, wonder, joys, sighs,
triumphs, blunders, lows, highs
….. to end back under
then a new one flies
