β€œThe path was purple in the dusk.
I saw an owl, perched,
on a branch.

And when the owl stirred, a fine dust
fell from its wings. I was
silent then. And felt

the owl quaver. And at dawn, waking,
the path was green in the
May light.”

β€œThe tide ebbs and reveals orange and purple sea stars. I have no special theory of radiance,
but after rain evaporates
off pine needles, the needles glisten.”
