Today seems to be an ugly day
the sun has crumbled
blackened and brittle
the river has dried
star fish licking its bottom
unable to move
unable to move
today is an ugly day
the sky i had touched
yesterday, from between my fingers
it has lifted its covers
and gone far ahead
it was but a traitor
another one of conspirators
it stands afar now
with a cup of smile
filled with scorn and smug
today was an ugly day
the night has come
with a tattered blanket
and huddle i must under it
patches of my thighs exposed
my toes stritting out
today has been an ugly day
would tomorrow be just another day
