.
a 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
a distant song of a crowing rooster’s
daybreak cries— a day slips by
of routine and wonder
of joys and sighs
triumphs and blunders
lows and highs
….. and ends back under
(then a new one flies)
