SHIELD
Kim Goldberg
On this solstice morning
through slits of light in the privacy
screen I planted to shield myself
from my neighbour
(who is in no way offensive but merely
there)
I glimpse pieces of a doe gliding past—
a shoulder a knee
a tawny presence threading
the eye of a heartbeat beyond
the green
