trouble of day


sleeping on straw
staring at stars
two carrots and the
tired tapping of night
sideways smirk,
that trouble of day
up in the air
dreams hang
they pick some old poor
dying star
and fall to earth like leaves
after a few turns of season
no one will know these leaves
from any other earthly matter
after a few moments of light,
the day forgets,
but always returns to
