chester street

Mere chance put me there-
Rolling two-by-eights
Across the garage rafters
Framing a new roof:
When the pale November sun
Got low between the cedar branches,
And shot vivid rays
Through the pink cirrus
Overhead--
Enough to make a man
Catch his breath
       & pause for a moment
In the constant beauty of things.
