Too Soon

by Sally Wiener Grotta

Too soon
The sun rises
Before the night-long dream resolves
Before we can eek meaning out of the ether.

No sunlight please
To burn away the shadows
Flatten the contrast between
Yes/No
Is/Is not.

To soon it is over
Curtains close
Against the day's glare
And the dream is lost.
