And what was it, and when was it

my whole world made a quarter turn

and just walked off in a different direction

as if it had always known you were there

though I did not, nor would have believed

altogether too perfect. broken bowl,

pieces fitting perfectly. break line wholly

invisible to the unaided eye. holds water

better than the hands, clasped and naked

or. a new thing altogether, unexpected

shining. singing softly under its breath

like a small child at play. I was that child

as were you. what then are we together?

seed, meeting light, the spring and soft

air, using up its whole self in aid of what

is future. creature of green and loving

tremulous, sweet, giving ~~ transformation

soon
