Poetry Corner Monday

A Happy Birthday


Ted Kooser

This evening, I sat by an open window
and read til the light was gone and the book
was no more than a part of the darkness.
I could easily have switched on a lamp,
but I wanted to ride this day down into night,
to sit alone and smooth the unreadable page
with the pale grey ghost of my hand.
