"Bright Sunlight"
The wind has blown a corner of your shawl
into the fountain,
where it floats and drifts
among the lily pads
like a tissue of sapphires.
But you did not heed it,
your fingers picked at the lichens
on the stone edge of the basin
and your eyes follow the tall clouds
as they sail over the ilex trees.
