A straight line divides my yard
Half in shadow half in sun
But the light is slowly pushing back
The darkness against the wall
So I can see each blade of grass
And all kinds of budding weeds
Step over that threshold into the light
Until the whole space is taken in
Almost every shadow erased
And for a few moments
I too can stand in the sun
Illuminated and overcome
As if some flowering could come
Some leaves sprout along my limbs
