First Light

how bright the dew
in the sunlight
each drop
a picture of a world remade

down by the dock herons watch
rainbows riding over silver fish

time shows-up as a water road
journeying to just here

this place where dawn dew
mirrors a million first lights
gleaming out
of a million suns

my dog sniffs at the prismatic air
the light
the new fledged green 

she sweeps her furry tail
back and forth
scattering a bespangled sky
behind her
