My Mornings in Chiaroscuro
myriad patterns
of light and shade-
under the jacaranda
then, rainwater flows
down the sloping roof
into my fishpond
on my way to work,
the stray cat sprawls
on my car’s hood
challenging my ownership,
late again…
serendipitously,
floating in a puddle
on the road-
a rainbow!
I smile.
