Day and Night
 
I am accustomed to failure
Rooster, mailman, grains of sand
All bring bad news
Darkness doesn’t belong to night alone

Why does the sun rise so late
It never enters my study before noon
When light finally spills its warmth
I hear dusk knocking at my door

Night comforts my stomach
Making room to absorb and enthrall 
To dream what I want  
And lose it all at daybreak
