In Several ColorsEvery morning, cup of coffee
in hand, I look out at the mountain.
Ordinarily it's blue, but today
it's the color of an eggplant.And the sky turns
from gray to pale apricot
as the sun rolls up
Main Street in AndoverI study the cat's face
and find a trace of white
around each eye, as if
he made himself up today
for a part in the opera."In Several Colors," by Jane Kenyon, from Otherwise (Graywolf Press).
