A Daybreak Thought for Maria

At daybreak thought
I may die
no reason not
nor reason why

Yet still live
moments through
sky now turning
lighter blue

City woke
as if God spoke
“Cities wake
at daybreak.”

Daybreak makes
living wake
and tired move
more to prove

“I live still
ten stories high,
with it moving
still am I”

As if God thought
“Let him go
through at least
one daybreak more.”
