July Holding


by p n w donnelly  
sky drifts across the
   
 

glass

patched with bright light

 

where a window opens

   

 

across the room

 

 

 

yesterday's rain transmutes

itself intensely

green

against the spring

 
 

 

washing

and branches

turn

in the drying wind

sharp points of bluebell cut

the flattened clay

 

discarded apple core

among the weeds

   
 

 

tomorrow on hold while

shadows of geraniums

decorate the page
