Another day

a poem by Teesha Guliana

Another sinful day
Another day
Full of hope
Full of life
And a few knives

I’d rather swing
Or skip a beat
I’d dance to tunes
And sing offbeat

Another bird passes by
It pauses to give me a hi
Another dog barks at one
And let me shuffle by

I turn my head
Round and all around
Seeking for dangers
And paths to cross by
While I frown

Another shade
Of the sky has passed
The moon has kissed all goodnight
Watching out for
Another sinful day
Another day
Full of hope
Full of life
