a possible, but not mine,
mine had only the slightest bits of blue...
there was a night and a day
and then some more
dyeing paper
here's a little dance
how it's disbound
what i found inside
pleases me,
this winter break
where there is some color play
on the surface of cotton
paper
with a little help
from staghorn sumac
blueberries, onion skins, hollyhock,
yellow birch,
a spider plant,
and metal things
some string marks
some metals
a length in transition
and my vat god, plus a linen bundle
oh, and there was a moon or two
or more.
last night's snow was lit up and
this morning there's new snow
so these bits of startling color indoors
make outside more beautiful still.
