Sunrise Outside Eden

A quiet moment. The machines
Are humming to themselves, which means

The power is on. The world runs.
There’s plenty of work to be done,

As in most quiet locations.
A moment’s a moment’s ration

In which tiny events accrue,
And the world keeps becoming new

By adding to old happenings.
You lie with your imaginings

Until enough’s built up and you must
Move. Someone’s bound to interrupt

Your quiet moment anyway.
Frost’s gone. Still dawn goes down to day.
