a light in the afternoon

easier than trying to think on everything
to isolate one beautiful moment
is miserably more convenient

to think on a reunion
or perhaps a well-lit tree

or that one moment today
when the light caught the leaves
almost setting the tree ablaze
glorious
which alone would be beauty
but together with the thoughts
already brilliant in their conception
combined to create a moment
inexpressible.

what I remember most
is how I wanted to call
and share that moment with you
