Little did I know! when yesterday
I stacked the two-by-eights & corrugated sheetmetal
that my errand to repair her leaking roof
would carry me up shaky ladders
into a windy blue domain
where hour by hour things changed,
close clouds caught the light
a hundred ways
rowdy ravens gave me their greeting
morning air pulsed
& squirrels scolded from blustery cedars,
Little did I know!
what fortune would I find
spending an entire day rubbing elbows
with eaves gables chimneys & gutters
low-slung cumuli entered my eye
and at dusk full moons!
waxing huge over the purple sage Sierra
