The house was quiet and the world was calm. The reader became the book; and summer night Was like the conscious being of the book. —Wallace Stevens poets.org/poem/house-was…

A Day Is Vast A day is vast. Until noon. Then it’s over. Yesterday’s pondwater braided still wet in my hair. I don’t know what time is. You can’t ever find it. But you can lose it. Jane Hirshfield

A day is vast.
Until noon.
Then it’s over.

Yesterday’s pondwater
braided still wet in my hair.

I don’t know what time is.

You can’t ever find it.
But you can lose it.
