let’s not make hasty

let’s not make hasty
calculations here –
it’s best
not to read a
puddle by
its reflection,
lest we get
splashed

on rainy mornings,

on rainy mornings,
we collect puddles, folding in
each corner with care

so that only the chosen
reflections spill when retrieved

at sunset, portals

at sunset, portals
open up all across city
streets, curbside,
adjoining this world
with countless
others – so much

here is the puddle

here is the puddle
i keep in my pocket
and pull out
periodically

city reflections,

after a rain, the city

after a rain, the city
lifts up her fresh face,
looks into
the reflections staring
back from a million

and makes
a practiced

landing
right side up

corner that puddles –
a challenge to
dive, stir, or leap

this morning on a

this morning on a
whim, in her silver-
plated reflection,
the rain trapped
five flowering
branches of a
nearby tree,
something blue
from a parked
bicycle, a curious
face leaning
so close, and two,
almost three,
generous
pinches of sky
