Kinetic Theory of Variation
Deborah Purdy
 
 
The Japanese maple has filled
the view
from our living room window–
 
today–a screen of russet 
leaves 
that tremble as if spurred
 
by some unseen inspiration.
We pause–
our ambitious history in limbo–
 
hold onto that one small gesture 
of summer, suggestion
of motion.
