in the hand of a smaller morning





in the hand
of a smaller morning, i would
not be so taken

in the realm
of corners white, i would
not so have fallen

but this morning
is fragrant towards an evening remembered - of
corners glided with breezes
revelations of sky

wide (not) enough to hold thoughts
of you, sunrise blue (not)
enough to touch the filling
of a heart, nor the red
of my rapture
against the salver of the
day

  7. My God, this is beautiful. The (not)s really got to me. The opening is lovely and spanking white; the blue... the palette of not only colors, but emotions, so lovely. Thank you so much for this. Amy (dversed today, too!)

  10. This is lovely...all of it. I am very fond of the last stanza "wide (not) enough to hold thoughts...against the salver of the day." Powerful words.
