The day we notice
the vast complexities
of a spiderweb
the marriage
of scilla
and star magnolia
the hairy woodpecker
almost, not quite
hiding
the moist mouth of
the morning
glory
the lamp collecting
the sun's light
to release it at night
the drape
of clematis
the dangling jewelled fuchsia
Chinese lanterns
hollowed with their own
heat
Japanese maples
arching above us
like prayers held aloft
is the day
we make the time
to observe a lengthening shadow
and return
to the fountainhead
and to the compass rose
is the day we return
to our house
hold.
