Materia Poetica

(C) R.L.K.

We speak of such things: the dreamy song
of a sparrow on a June morning
when fog hugs the shadows, or
the clouds that skim the rooftops
on a December night. We consider
what we consider: a season and its weather.
We speak of things, and so we speak
of the state of our world, at a given time.
