What some call forever
I call Sunday afternoon

Two-thirty exactly

When the sun is still high

And there is no thought of night—

No thought even of the sapphire

Brightness of early dusk

That yields too soon to endless,

Silent pitch punctuated

By indifferent stars

And an overripe moon—

No thoughts of any of that

At that never ending moment

I call two-thirty, Sunday,

When nobody is hungry or tired

Or angry or sad or frightened

About anything.

It is all good.


I call it forever.

I dream Sunday

Into Monday

And beyond.


The dream is never-ending;

Too often I dream it alone.
