One TodayOpening lines of a poem first heard in public on Jan 21, 2013. During what (usually quadrennial) event? This day last year: Q.489One sun rose on us today, kindled over our shores,
peeking over the Smokies, greeting the faces
of the Great Lakes, spreading a simple truth
across the Great Plains, then charging across the Rockies.
One light, waking up rooftops, under each one, a story
told by our silent gestures moving behind windows.
