like a tired man

Juan Miguel Torres

the sun rose today
like a tired man going up the steps
the sounds of the church bells
pushed the lazy air
they hastened to wake me up
today came slowly
i could almost feel it stretching
and with no apparent reason
it hid the moon
slouching against the world
the day stayed up
and like a tired man
it gave its performance
with little interest
and like a tired man
the day went back
and covering the sun
like the man does his shades
the day slept
like a tired man
