it’s black and white outside
a photograph
later
afternoon before the rain
that’s all
could album this
(some do so
very
well)
wait for more
or
take in
breathe in
what there is just
now

Late Blue
Late blue
Dark green
Only the extremities
Are gilt
A corner pane
Sheer view
That is
Through sheers
Though an unmitigated
View
As far
As I could go

Psalm 24
a song of in-between
What do we do on an in-between
Day? How might we please
You, Lord, on this kind of day?
If we do small things—speak
More softly and with civility
To those we know and those
Whom we encounter;
If we see the grey wash of
Sky and appreciate that it
Is not a sky of harsher conflict;
If we enjoy the colors, textures
That we have (even awash) and
Simple meals within our means
To have three times—post-dawn,
At midday, and again in twilight;
If we choose to look at harmony
And listen to the view—if
We accomplish these diminutive
Tasks, maybe without thinking,
Might we still please you? We
Do hope so and so we pledge,
Even if all around us is
An indifferent age
