 Windows
 Through the windows in the back door
 I saw the earth made new once more.
 This morning the carpenters were earlypacking chisels of fog, hammers of ice.
 I could see everywhere the bare walnut treeshad shared in the work before sunrise.
 Dawn shapes dark in the ice-tooled filigreedrew the limbs out of night onto gray skies.
 Nowhere did the trees end, nor the fog beginonly the least glow bringing the day in.
