Early Dawn
How could I
have felt that the world
was ending when
it was my first time
experiencing sunrise
just after midnight,
my first time where
the air was both
cool and heavy,
where the summer
threatened neither
to burn nor drown?
the summer I learned
that years began
in fall, not winter,
and spring, like her,
is always just
around the corner---
