The Glitter of New Coins

Robins tumble across the grass in this damp wind

like leaves tossed at will by a restless God.

Rain, though cunning, cannot melt their rusty hearts.


And the tiny alchemy of finches

turning from winter

is enough to quicken

my breath

and to see the grayest season

will change into the glitter

of new coins.
