on the line between shadow and sun
on the deck, at the bedroom door,
before the steps, before the smell of lavender,
when the bee flies horizontal
at the top of the step before you step
onto stone and go to gate,
long before the gate, just at the beginning
past the bedroom door, at that line of shade
when you pass from indoors to outside,
from green boards to sun-bleached wood,
from any moment to the next,
you could stay a long time there
standing still on an edge
that becomes a place
just to see what happens
how green comes and goes in the grass
during that line between light and dark
how even the division of your body
if you let our attention be complete
could prove to be very unexpected.
