Monday envies my books
sunning themselves on the shelf,
and my bedroom
patiently waiting for its hour to come,
and the stairs
knowing the things only stairs know
But Monday knows
the two languages of the rose,
Monday is the pomegranate’s uncle,
cousin of the apricot,
sister to the apple,
Monday, bringing us all
the work we have always dreamed of doing
From Painted, Spoken No 15 (2007)
