Dawn's faint breath <br />breathes with your mouth <br />at the ends of empty streets. <br />Gray light your eyes, <br />sweet drops of dawn <br />on dark hills. <br />Your steps and breath <br />like the wind of dawn <br />smother houses. <br />The city shudders, <br />Stones exhale— <br />you are life, an awakening. <br /> <br />Star lost <br />in the light of dawn, <br />trill of the breeze, <br />warmth, breath— <br />the night is done. <br /> <br />You are light and morning.<br /><br />Cesare Pavese<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-morning-you-always-come-back/
