Morning Song
Wednesday, August 11, 2010 Morning Song
by Marcia F. Brown
Here, I place
a blue glazed cup
where the wood
is slightly whitened.
Here, I lay down
two bright spoons,
our breakfast saucers, napkins
white and smooth as milk.I am stirring at the sink,
I am stirring the amount of dew
you can gather in two hands,
folding it into the fragile
quiet of the house....
