I will stand up again


I make notes to my self

writing in the stillness of recollections

one after another 

the goals missed

the excuses given


the chickens come home to roost

and you know the day is at the end

and the count of feathers falling

and the volume of tittering

inspires your dread of failure


but I will stand up again

older and wiser and better

because the sun will come out

and the chicks will hatch

the cocks and the cockerels will raise their voice

and we all go out again

to do that which must be done.
