A leaf, a secret innocence as happens
Inside the leaf, dividing the light
When each color in unity deepens
Imago, a good death;
A secret
Running the length of alleyways in Denver,
Color of cottonwoods when thunder
Steels the sky;
God's lathe;
A hummingbird turning a lathe to make its nest,
And the wind powerless against it,
Going through;
Afterwards,
Imago just one hour,
Sun goes down,
A prism that is
Cool as a leaf, cool
And vaporous as grass
When grass goes home.
