Dawn Revisited
Imagine you wake up
with a second chance: The blue jay
hawks his pretty wares
and the oak still stands, spreading
glorious shade. If you don't look back,

in the prodigal smell of biscuits —
eggs and sausage on the grill.
The whole sky is yours
to write on, blown open
to a blank page.

I did my undergrad honors thesis on Rita Dove. I will always love her work. Happy National Poetry Month!
