light coming into cloud above blackness
of ridge, black shape of leaf on branch
in foreground, sound of wave in channel
views from the edge of days,
events shape observer
time in seconds, written as
is, for the most part
silver of rain drop falling in channel,
wingspan of pelican flapping across it
Late morning sky viewed through kitchen window,
ReplyDeletegreen, red, orange,yellow leaves on branches,
sound of neighbor's mower, last cut of year.
electrons reassembled into words
read on other edge of continent
though hours apart, reader sees
light, weather, sounds
imagines beginning of poet's day
looking out on channel under ridge
