Inscription for the ceiling of a bedroom
Daily dawns another day,
I must up to make my way.
Though I dress and drink and eat,
Move my fingers and my feet,
Learn a little here and there,
Weep and laugh and sweat and swear,
Hear a song or watch a stage,
Leave some words upon a page,
Claim a foe or hail a friend-
Bed awaits me at the end.
Though I walk in pride and strength,
I'll come back to bed at length.
Though I walk in blinded woe,
Back to bed I'm bound to go.
High my heart or bowed my head,
All my days but lead to bed.
Up and out and on and then
Ever back to bed again.
Summer, winter, spring and fall-
I'm a fool to rise at all!
D.P.
