There Is
by Robin Turner

a wilderness. A sliver
of moon. A thrum. That book

you’ve been meaning
to read. Blue window

you’ve been meaning
to mend. All its raingleam

& cloudbloom. Every rough chip
& fissure. Your own searching fingertips

feeling for light. There is light. A quiet
listening held & holding

deep in the soft moss
of any of us.
