Daybreak
Hands and lips of wind heart of water eucalyptus campground of the clouds the life that is born every day the death that is born every life I rub my eyes: the sky walks the land

Daybreak - meaning Summary
Dawn as Cyclical Renewal
The poem presents dawn as a brief, liminal moment when natural elements—wind, water, trees, clouds—converge into living images. Birth and death appear as simultaneous, everyday processes, and the speaker’s rubbed eyes signal a change in perception as sky and land merge. Sparse, imagistic lines suggest renewal, continuity, and a collapsing of boundaries between inner awareness and the external world at daybreak.
