Monday Morning Joy

Word for the day

another gift
from somewhere else—

To wake
on a dark Monday morning
in a country
beset by so much
like so many others
in a family
beset by so much
like so many others
and to unaccountably
feel Joy
sudden as Christmas lights
Joy
right here, right now
Joy
this perfect word for the day
