Sunrise
Faiz Ahmad (bio)

slow jazz chords
of bird flocks—

a sequence of winged notes
played to unearthly

time signatures,
one even heard

the sunrays falling
syncopatedly

one after the other
upon everything—

such rhythm such beauty
to which I was

perhaps the solitary
witness that morning

so much so that I came
to believe that I would

eventually be called to testify
to the truth of all this
