Let light augment hearts archery

sun each day pulls the dark

away from the side of earth

replaces it with airy blue that sprinkles

yellow on to tips of squirrel's fur

Bones of the tree rise out of sand

where they sequestered as

green turned brown

Spider spins touch of wind

the birth pang, the smoke of grief

Fog rests on the plate of the bay

no weight, no color, purposeless

In the core of the cloud, in the clouds core

blue gains, color tightens into blue weight

confusion, contusion, cumulus combine

This day, frogs dream deep

cold's charity opens its fist

and releases rain

- Grace Marie Grafton
