How much harder to write
the open days– calm at dawn

the morning a breeze,
all windows open to prepare

for later heat. The details
are kind: Young maples

have filled the silence
between the pines

with undulating green,
you’d never guess just how

the bank drops off–
Down in the valley

children scream in play,
two girls wailing

like teakettles,
like birds of prey,

and on the porch, lines
of silk spark in succession —

spider webs caught
in a dappled ray,

like so many things,
invisible,

except under just
the right conditions–
