A new love

You know it’s a new love when
a sunrise better than any other
finds your face the morning after
you feel like shouting
keep on burning, lightbulb!
keep on clattering, venetian blinds!
keep on shining, shiny car!
keep on pacing, alley cat!
I have reclaimed my life!
What once existed as a bleak,
featureless horizon,
i have crashed through
face-first, and emerged
out of breath, heart pounding
into this world of music,
trees, and stolid silver cats
who answer to no master!
