fragility of sun filtering
back through tall, weedy trees
made explosive by gold autumn
I will never see that light again
in exactly the same way . . .
at the same angle
with the same foliage
even now turning brown
& driven groundward by wind
the branch precariously balanced
since last winter stays, but the day comes
when it is thrown down
when even that which is permanent
is thrown down
- to come around again
different, or the same
a series of notes played the same
on a different piano
a keening harmony shifting
melody around it,
always coming back, the same
different and everything
with this day a point on the arc
