The Heat of the Harvest

Twice good in a white room,
the blood of my labor confesses
           delight.
A private season sits
           beside me in a medium black notebook.

No, it is a homemade path,
           a garden moon made
brilliant, a rhyme
           sprouting a ghost
           of sifted sequins and feathers.
