Monday’s Poem

Still Life

Westerly sun’s glow
Casts shimmering
Golden
Patterns on
Hardwood maple
Glints
Pale yellow
Faceted
Italian gold
Bracelet
Bought in Venice
Thirty-five years ago
Israeli globe earrings
Turquoise stones
Spatter Mediterranean blue
Amidst coral beads
Leather bound journal
Dragonfly wing
Lacquered yellow
On a sun seared
White pebbled path
These treasures
Strewn together
Loosely
In the moisture laden
Air
