a poem

Ed Roberson (via poets.org’s Poem-A-Day)
There is nothing concrete to grasp in
looking into the morning sky
The evidence of red-eye
flights east a plane drawn line presents
is not a wheelbarrow solid enough
dependency as day and night
carry in coming and going
You don’t see the poem
saying anything you can’t see in it
White dashes of contrails’
seemingly unmoving streak towards sunrise
disquiet the pale otherwise
unpunctuated blue of dawn
breaks it off Here is that silence
It was wonderful as always to have you home.
