The Fact of the Matter

 

As the sun rises, the frost on the fields

Takes on the shapes of the shadows of the trees.

 

It’s probably a metaphor for something,

But I’m content not to know for what.

 

Not everything has a meaning,

At least not beyond itself:

A pattern of frost that clings to a shadow

On a late-October morning

In an ordinary life.
