Ephemera

The things you wanted
to do today
Did you do them?
Lying in bed in the early hours
you had something to say
Did you say it?
Today when the sun shone
and you smiled
Did you look behind
at yesterday's self
who was crying?
But you don't know why,
now,
you cannot remember.
It was all so long ago
and you are new,
brand new,
today.
