The days

 In the daytime we watch the grass

At night we watch till the TV fizzles dead

Cracked and aching with the slog

We two tired hearts are pulled along

As tethered children in the fog

Defy another day to dawn

We huddle together in dark sleep

Fearful of another day

Proclaimed by the scratching of sunlight on glass

We arise

To the growing of grass
