Ephemerae,
July Issue 2018
how softly
the light shifts
from day to dusk,
the familiar comfort
of my hand in yours
all morning long
the praying mantis
clings to a window screen—
my fingers less nimble
with each passing year
Praying Mantis and the Moon by Watanabe Seitei
A Poet in Time 
Lovely work, Mary! I particularly love the sense of comfort and reassurance of the first.
