outside at night

years ago I would
push the pen
like this
at night
outside
opening eyes
on an entirely
new focus
                        a beautiful
sunrise
each morning before
eye put a foot on the floor
and got on with the day
lying down
each night
with the most amazing
sunset
and there is a cat
perched on the railing
like a bird
                        another inside
                        like a lazy dog
all the clouds are hidden
by the cloudy overhead
hardly the haze
            there once was
            choking no more…
