He knows it because it is the only day
that I am still in bed at dayliight.
Tommy stretches as he sings
his favorite opera, waiting for me.
I get up . . .

The color of dawn
is yellow
I am first up making coffee,...
pushing yawning dogs

Grazing the edges of the soccer field I drag him along
with an elusive rhythm and a wandering intent
We are matching paces only time to time
He noses in and out of the brush around . . .

dancing silver on their tears and their scales
I tried to console . . .
