>Books are illuminated

>where dust motes spin
>like stars in the vast beam of chaos.

>Only sort papers on the polished table

>A blackbird on the lawn
>listens to the earth turning,
>beak seeks, strikes, spears and wrestles
>a tussle of worm free.
>
>The perfume of hyacinths pervade.

>Adjusting my glasses to read
>the morning’s words
>my eyes flicker back and forth,
>fingers dart and stab at keys.

>I sigh distance and decades away
>and galaxies gyre.
>
>A paper, an unfinished ordering of words,
>sense channering away inside,
>is tossed upon the pile
>and universes upheave.
