Interruptions

Rain beats down

in interruption of

the fleeting sun,

sun in its brief windows

interrupts the rain,

sleep interrupts thought,

thought interrupts sleep,

anxiety about our course

interrupts excitement

We will smooth it over,

we will fill our moments

with enough learning

that we don’t have time

for gaps of panic,

and the places between the doing

we’ll fill with hope.
