Welcome, if you will, the end of a star-spun night. Welcome five deer leaping the silver
fence. Welcome the uneasy peace in
Iraq. Welcome the squared shale talus
from which we glean our walk-stones.
Welcome six before seven. Welcome
all survivors of breast cancer. Welcome
to long wires humming their electrical song and wild rye swaying in
silence. Welcome computer graphic loops
of waves crashing against the shore.
Welcome to swing-set toddlers and big kids swirling through the soccer
field. Welcome the first yawn and first
laughter.
Welcome the beginning of a better day than
yesterday.
