Sun might have come up
lingered, loitered
or simply winked
and left
Earth sure would have not
missed a turn
although a tad restless
she did become
later that night
Moon would have made
its presence felt
or unfelt
depending on the time of month
Rained it would have somewhere
and in some place
perennial summer
continued unabated
Not one of the days
that knocked on the door
of my cognizance
or bothers now to ring a bell
Not a thing I remember
of the day
as ordinary as a day could be
until the fall of night
September 30, 1993
Cast aside unlived
left un-arrived
shadowed by a night
unending
too late to rise
for the many that didn't
get to see
October that year or any
