The Measure of Morning

At morning, light rests softly on the plate, A pepper wakes; the carrot keeps its earth. The needle stirs, yet will not arbitrate The hunger or the measure of our worth. The fire makes the raw day tender, slow, While grains of salt fall star-like through the steam. We count, not so the living self may grow More small, but so the road may hold a gleam. If afternoon brings bread, still warm and gold, Let footsteps bear it gently through the air. If evening leaves an empty place, don't hold Tomorrow to a debt it cannot share. The numbers rest; the breath moves on in time— Each meal, the body's letter without rhyme.
