                                A Sequence

                                        by
                                        Adelaide B. Shaw, New York
                                        Merrill Ann Gonzales, Connecticut


                                        buttercup field—
                                        a black horse grazing
                                        in the mist

                                             even as daybreak dawns
                                             night hides in the grass

                                        maple viewing—
                                        red and gold leaves float
                                        on slow waters

                                             in the early dusk
                                             deer come to drink

                                        petal fall—
                                        the widow grows accustomed
                                        to changing light

                                             night after night
                                             tracking the moon’s path
