['Stamp Labour Day Cipriani and Butler' from google dot com]
To sweep, clearing the path for a shimmering sun, is to paint the day begun. Ignoring dawn, ignoring bird songs. To boiling water, coffee dust, adds an instant aroma alluring to beginnings. Across the street, bagged garbage are black crows; like shadows at night heaped. Later, the trucks will swarm in, in a fury and a din for the Sunday pickup. Behind the wall, the park, empty, except for early morning sunrise.

How important it is to acknowledge, be thankful and revere our histories. We are what we are are and have what we have through the struggle of our forebears. What a great haibun this is.
