Shower Window

by Savannah Voth


See the world
encapsulated in a foggy rectangle: a green leaf
spotted with sky blue
or a blue leaf spotted
with the various green shades
of trees, bushes, shrubs,
shifting slightly in the breeze.
Roses bursting out, here and there,
pea flowers peeking from
behind the bean leaves,
winks of pink in a green sea.
As the mist on the glass
increases and drops begin
to roll down, it is finally clear to me
the pointillism of it all. A trembling
in blue and yellow, red and green,
like something Seurat might see
from his own shower window.
Vibrant vibrations, vast harmonies,
the overwhelming sense that
everything has a point,
polka dots dancing, part and particle
and petiole
of an immense organism.
