දෙසැම්බරයේ උදෑසනක්




Clarice Thompson |Morning in December

In the dark kitchen
I raise the window shade.
The morning star glistens.
alone in black space.
Something in me, near my heart,
soars up to meet it,
touches it briefly
and returns.
How insignificant I am,
How tiny in a universe
where even that star
is miniscule.
I turn from the window,
reassured, stronger.
My tiny world, larger
almost in order.
