…and rags of cloud absorb the last
flash of brilliance from the light
diffusing now until complete
darkness sends a small shock.
– Jill McKeowen’s ‘Still Life’
fare well
and thank you for your words
they live
they catch our breath
we will meet in your book
that’s a conversation
in a garden
it’s where no words suffice for wonder
though they are all that we have
things in the view
and the view
will be gone
but today we are reading your words
it falls to us to flower
it is beautiful to have been
your words as alive
as last week as next year
and keep hearts lit their way
