The Upcoming

Contemporary Poetry

Every calendar changes in theme,
Let not any doctor say anything grim.
The days can challenge a story to trim,
Let not any professor throw in a scheme.

What happens, I wonder, with passing days?
The stories that pull a stutter, crawl back in some ways.
At knowledge, for each month shall only bring patience,
The stories of September or December cannot suffice in valence.

Yet morning light pushes us to gamble over time,
To subside or sleep tight, to declare it no crime.
Stitched in rules, we dare, we break;
To subside or settle through, our voice shall not creak.

Settle already in early musings,
The line is waiting, in a hope, to receive no refusing.
Challenges shall be steady, with no excuses.
