contradiction

love is love and
lover is lover.
and you wake in some other, your bed.

i say:  good morning, sunshine
to the light of a certain star.

and think of sighs, poems
of breakbone fever, of cold.
you found shelley's "good-night" silly. 

alone at dawn and
i bid some beam good morning.
silence softly returns.  how can it be?
