When stars come out. Upon awakening

August 2, 1988

Monet's `The Seine at Giverny, Morning Mists' In humid warmth, violet and indigo Cling to boughs turquoise and jade; Breathing sweet breath, Condensing as on a glass. Consider the sun's purple after-image. These brushstrokes, too, linger and glow, Delight wisteria dreams.
