Sunrise is such a simple concept
like those wheely things on a playground
that have the rounded railings
dividing the thick metal circle into riveted pie pieces
each big enough for one child to climb onto and hold on
while the world spins by
always in the same direction
and with just a little bit of a tilt
and if you keep your eyes open
the background fades into a blur
but there is always one object that becomes the touchstone
that by which you mark the beginning of each revolution
by which you judge your speed
your coming
and your going
there it is again…the sunrise
another day in paradise
hold on tight.
