Today came slowly and without
any grace whatsoever. Next door,
the green paint on the side of the house
flowers in the sun. The sun itself
has flitted in and out of sight
all day. I watched it carefully,
stunned and blinded.
But it’s afternoon now. Whatever
I could have chosen to say
is disappearing with the landscape.
Your affection kept me aware
of something less hidden than
I ever was, a place to meet,
a heaven on whose roads we walk.
