Multitudes
by Julia Travers
With reverence to Whitman
The hard white corner of the kitchen cabinet
juts into the air.
Unapologetic right angles
say:
just this.
While the morning sun
says:
multitudes,
in polyphonic tongues of light on unmowed grass,
the morning
says, multitudes, says, all,
says nothing of dividing.
The morning light knows me
and meets me as itself.
The morning light says nothing of dividing,
says,
you don’t even have to
