daylight savings

of all the things
we could speak of now
there is this:
the clocks, about to change,
the light, about to leave the sky,
the music…
riding on the static
from the station we hardly get
but keep trying.
and you,
in the other room,
about to appear,
on your way to check
the soup,
the stew,
the simmering thing
we will eat
in just a short while.
but for now
(oh! for now …)
i am in love
with what is happening
right now…
that melody,
these smells,
your smile I know is there,
because we love this song,
we love this light.
