if, just, only
if you notice
this bird sends echoes of himself
into the trees
if for no other reason than
the joy of it
and that kind of light
will never again fall
just so against the verdant moss
nor on the just-cracked yolk
in the cobalt bowl
stippled market figs
the curve of river beds
just-pruned scent of pine
yes, if you notice
you understand
each tide, each blink,
each wind
is the only one.

Oh, I love this one! Hail, summer!
ReplyDeletegee, i wonder where the inspiration for the yolk in cobalt blue came from!? so much goodness! mostly just to presently enjoy, sometimes to try to capture in words...
