The Spectacle––poem by Dorothy
The Spectacle
Yesterday
on the trail,
it was everywhere.
As if someone
had unleashed rampant beauty
into the world,
as though a treasure chest of jewels
had been promiscuously
sprinkled about.
Even in the trees,
their limbs sparkling
with––yes––diamonds,
that old cliche,
flaunted on every leaf.
Except that they were there,
undeniable,
Christmas ornaments
glinting and flashing
in May,
everyone saw them
and wondered
how such a thing
could be.
