song of thanks

-

Thank you, barn.
Thank you, dark.
Thank you, ragged edge of moon.

And silhouettes of trees,
   oh I thank you too.

Thank you, morning.

Thank you, light.

Thank you, arc and filament

     of bright.

Thank you, red.

Thank you, scrim.

Thank you, patina and skin.

Thank ceramicist and peristalsis.

Thank you, fingertips

    and mug.

Thank you, lips and metamorphosis.
Thank you, hand and earth and rug.
 

I am heading for NYC tomorrow. Thank you, vacation. Thank you, Don. Thank you, Lesley and Brian. And bon voyage, Peter. Thank you, motherhood.
