Will Appear in Unit Circle #7

Lyn Lifshin

light on the ball
of glass on
the puddles
under the Hilton
the St. Lawrence glows
the flag poles
edges of buildings
a yellow car in the
salmon light
lights are starting to go on
green copper roofs glow
shadows of clouds
over sailboats
on the water
the smell of coffee
cool wind blowing
the water
a ripple of light
like a flag of glass
diamond ripples
I think of diamond Head
light that seemed
magical in a strange
town the only
familiar sign is
one that says
Kresge's light
that will glow
when what
seems to might
not green diamonds
red diamonds
blue diamonds
starting to cover
the hill
