New Pages in a Book of Hours
The liturgy
As clouds for notes
Against the sky
An antiphon of leaves
As wind
Blows through them
As candlelight
Reflections
Off of water
And should anything
Feathered
Or mammalian
Be chirping
Chittering
We’ll take that as
Responding to
The sun as celebrant

Leaf-Taking

Leaves change
As time changes
As time changes
Green becomes memory
Until green times
Return
x
Leaves of pages
Change
As time changes
As time changes
The memory of reading
Reading now
