Frost
Notice each windowpane has a
different
Swirling pattern of frost etched on the glass.
And notice how slowly the
sun melts
The glaze. It is indelible: a fossil of a fern,
Or a coelacanth, or a
derelict who
Rummages in his pockets and pulls out a few
Apple cores. Notice
the peculiar
angle of light in the slow shift of sunrise.
Where is the whir of the
helicopter?
The search for escaped convicts in the city?
Be amazed at the shine and
the wet.
Simply to live is a joy.
