Fresh daisies

I begin by remembering something always different

From the poem by Yevtushenko, just called Waking


Think on that

Just, for the moment, think on

Some things, same things

Yet always different


Without then their past connections or disconnects

Afloat in space, without landing, without mooring

Awash with the newness of it all together

The marvel, the meander, the wondering why


And how in the shower the radio plays

Back there, in your en-suite bedroom

There are echoes, sing-alongs

Songs of love, with differences no longer intended
