Braving the Day


by Lawrence Fox 

The air wafting into the room tastes so sweet.
It must have rained while we were asleep.

Please silence the clock and pull up the sheet.
I dread turning my eyes to face the bright;
It must have rained the whole night.

Rain sedates me like an infant cradlesong.
Please silence the clock a few hours long.

And then I will awake as I must
To run and catch the last morning bus;
And you will there remain asleep
And before I leave, I will pull up the sheet.
