Thru two top windows
only blue sky and
corners of clouds
passing by
now and then
thru one bottom window
plum's fresh green leaves and
branches abound
but 'tis too hot
reading thru Jennings'
"Praises" naked in
squares of sun
so one top window's opened
allows breeze that
bottom one will not
praise and purpose enough
view of waving plum and
dark pines beyond.

N.B. The title of this poem is taken from the first line of Elizabeth Jennings' poem, "Praises", in the book of the same name = "PRAISES", Carcanet, 1998.
