Susan Lacovara - One a.m.

One a.m.
And the rain finds me
Here again
At my tin top table
Underneath the window pane
Full on the feast of my day
Laundered and ironed
My cares put away
Setting a table for Autumn's appearing
Summer has faded, waves and skies clearing
Pulling the overgrown buds from their stem
In the quiet of drizzling rain
One a.m.

One a.m.
And still with a smile I can trace
Sketching from memory
That look on his face
When the nine o'clock hour brought him to me
Late in the season to visit my sea
Can't recall any words that I said
As my heart like a thief
Took the thoughts from my head
Perhaps it was just an AMEN
Remembering love...
One a.m.

Susan Lacovara
