Morning / Night

Old comic book anthologies on my left hand,
New unproven medicines at my waiting right.
Time flows away like falling sand,
Moon covering clouds fade in rosy light.

Light ageless, untainted, pure,
Showing each ash leaf, each rabbitbrush flower
As it stood on some first morning, ethereal, sure.
Breeze hushed in gathering light, filled with power.

Beneath it all the plague still racing,
Jaguars stalk the night, bring sleep 
To old horses, church song and bull fight erasing.
Old monsters stirring, rise from the deep.
