of a day
the r a in standing like a dark mirror
in the afternoon
turning the room upon itself /
the concrete driveway to
water engraved over
w a t er /
the le a ves gutting
image from the drops
one to another.
spring abandons all this into shadow
raked on the damp /
acres of sky run
to the edge of the hill.
