How can you say the world is not for me?
When the house finch
does its red, silly mating dance,
with the brown female’s rapt attention,
right out side my window
When this morning the sun shines
in its sacred, diffuse way
through a tumble of cloud
When hundreds work their 9-5 magic
making these bus doors
that open just now for me
When the earth pivots
just the right distance from the sun
the air like a cradle the trees provide
How can you say the world is not for me?
When your eyes look at me crystal blue
and the drops from your rain-caught lashes
glisten
like mirrors
