Today at Dawn (c) Famida Basheer Today at dawn as I walked along a cobbled street I smelled the remnant powers of yesterday's jasmine in the air; jasmines nodding on dew ridden stems stretching up to a swaddled sky newborn among burlap horizons. Today at dawn as I walked along that cobbled street I followed my thoughts like a patient dog that had lost its way home. Smaller thoughts like the fleas that run along its belly burrowed within my other thoughts then vanished within themselves. Today at dawn I thought deeply of a morrow and created mind pictures of cans and cannots which were as untrue as is all imagination. Tomorrow, I think I might think of today. Tomorrow my faith will revive. Tomorrow, I think I might think of today. |
