Cerulean, aqua, cyan,
sapphire, azul—
notes of a warbler
at the edge of the wood.
The papermaker floats dye
and oil on a liquid surface
so marble is a shape
in the mouth— Orb
in the throat, swirl
in a viewfinder,
evening’s fragrant hem
shuttering the eye.
In response to an entry from the Morning Porch.
