For the Undeserving

The door of Grace has only one handle, and it is on

the other side.

?Robert Wisnewski

Simply given: Palms frayed by sky. Pink bougainvilleas

threading the trellis.

A chameleon

on the screen door.

And some mornings, a breeze flips the newspaper I've opened and the cloud cover lifts, a more important story: a sudden pleasure I haven't earned, the drowned light come back, hair streaming, breathing softly, shreds of color pressed wet

against its body.
