• ABOVE THE SUN
    UC Poika



    As the sun above the overcast day shines
    A future abides above this confusion of mine,
    A puppy sort of future with a long wet tongue
    Or a kitten clinging there mewing out its lungs
    Type of time to come like a baby new year
    Or a long awaited kiss amid all the cheers
    Heard the rest of my life, bundled with love
    Like a present that Destiny gives as a pair of gloves
    Or more like a pair of socks at Christmastime
    Except it’s wrapped in what sounds like chapel chimes,
    But maybe the future favors another more
    And opens to a space with several unopened doors
    At the end of a long hallway that’s flooded with light
    With its exits leading to thankfulness for all life’s sites!
