I wish I could remember
what Beauty I saw today
suggestive maple blossoms
flush with willow green
introducing spring
less photographic film
to sear it on the brain
sparkling water diamonds
reddish lily disks
above, beneath the surface
how to keep it fresh
without withering away
accidental ducks
bufflehead pair
plying foreign waters
growing new memory tendrils
near the beholder’s eye
impatient squadrons
of mayflower leaves
eager to unfurl
available for conjuring
upon my soul’s request
streaking redwings
finches newly gilded
startling once again
I want to live with Beauty
every day until my last.
