"A View from the Podium"
Three Tenses of Light
for Andrew Anderson-Bell
World Premiere Thursday, August 16
a trinity of waters,
three tenses of light.
Tattered horizon,
the far fringes of morning
where new light rises:
Daylight advancing,
igniting sudden loosestrife,
taking the meadow.
Cloud blue flecked with sun:
noon wavering, gold water
fringed with black grasses.
Nothing here to cast
shade, measure the afternoon's
retreat, its fading
fall into darkness
over marsh and meadow. Sky,
you patient watcher
of all creation,
bend to the sleeping water,
embrace it wholly
through the dark hours,
then rise to bring us, again,
light's benediction.
Rhina P. Espaillat, 2012
