Let's Start Again

The day you thought would never end,
did, and began itself again
before you even noticed.

The tick over from yesterday's time
was smooth and easy as a sunset
falling from red to purple,

or a door clicking open,
spreading the night out before you -
the breeze over your skin.

Go to sleep.
Dream of everything
closed for maintenance,

a shuttered town
with no one to answer to,

and snow landing
slow as a shaken-out sheet.
