9th September 2025
This light, this light at 11.01 a.m.
shines through the stained glass windows
and hits these flagstones, here and there
and over there, 45 degrees. sharp light
momentary sunlight. When was the last time
you shone so? Last year, the 9th of September?
but no. was the sun shining?
how many times in 1,000 years have
you shone on these same stones at this hour?
who would know how many 9ths of September were sunny?
Streams of light, unnoticed on these warn flagstones
you have reappeared today, mysteriously,
momentarily, silently, warmly.
