IT IS THE EAST

      IT IS THE EAST



Somehow the sun made it yesterday
despite a sky of slate
as though the children
left their crayons at home. 

unlike this morning
as  backlit bands
of faded rust and soft cinnamon
announce a new day of joy
for all who can disentangle themselves
from their weltschmerz of sadness
over a broken world
they cannot mend.
