January 10 - January 14 Week 53/72
no cathedral can compare
to the one encircling me
on this cold clear morning
windows to the sky rimmed
with dark tree limb leading
framing panes of color whose names
have not yet been spoken
minute by changeable minute
the glory continues then fades
as the sunlight moves through
bare trees and rests in places
it can touch only at this time of year
