The ground, the apartment house
that stands upon it, the haze
from too much sun upon the roof
and the sky in its simple blue
are tranquil with their meaning
that the slow drifting chimney smoke
on this windless day expresses.
A well being
that takes its own path
touched by a current of air,
by something solid.
It spreads itself around and about
modestly, like smoke
going up.
