Stoppage

by Michael Cluff        

The day the sun
did not arise
I stayed bound
to its mood.
The souring milk
at least halted
its movement
while the crickets
realized a holiday
was in their hands,
as it were,
until the universe
went back to the day before,
a Roman Catholic festival day,
and reversed
what the delayed dawn
held in negative promise.
