Just a little poem for those of us who will be changing our clocks tonight.

Gains 

Here we are, spinning the hands

of our clocks once again – adding

the hour we stole from the morning

to the end of the day.  Gaining not time,

but an hour more of birdsong, sixty minutes

of bees and butterflies, thousands of seconds

in which to find peace as day dissolves into night.
