Breakthrough

“Mom, come!”

Joe, awed, pulled my arm.


Through the leafless branches,

The usually obscured neighbor’s house

Stood clear in the dawn light,

A fiery sword stood suspended above it,

Reminding me to be always on the lookout

For breakthroughs of glory,


And not immediately discover the prosaic explanation

Of a newly installed chimney shining in the sun.
