Saturday Light
The light at this angle
came in yesterday too —
only the day has changed
what it is willing
to ask of the light.
The cars are slower. The kettle is later.
The book on the table has
the patience of a thing no one
is going to ask anything of
this morning.
Nothing is asked of me, either.
The light moves
the way the light moves on a Saturday —
without instruction.
