The Onlywhere
Morning’s eye sees everywhere
the green field of dew draped grass
Afternoon’s eye sees only where
a single blade leaning protects
the only drop its day will hold

What about evening’s eye?
I like how you’ve been working with time and impermanence in your recent poems…It’s timely, for this reader 🙂
Your response means a ton to me.
Evening’s eye, as you can imagine, was closed…
Evening’s eye sees everything
and draws its lashes close
…the only drop it will hold… Wonderful words here….so protective. I see a blade of grass, the long kind we used to pick and cup in our hands to whistle from….holding its last dew drop…its only refreshment for the long hot day ahead. Thank you for the lovely image.
