| Calm came clear |
|
| of cloud |
|
| early one morning |
Calm come clear |
| before things started |
of cloud |
| Calm came at noon |
Calm come |
| A cardinal perched |
clear |
| on black bough |
of cloud |
| in blazing sun. |
|
|
|
|
| Calm came at night |
Calm come clear |
| stretching as cats do, |
of cloud |
| constant stretch and change. |
|
|
Forsythia brightened |
Calm come clear |
|
as the house slept. |
of cloud |
|
|
|
| Now calm come |
Now calm come |
| in the face of |
clear of |
| brawl |
cloud |
