You and I


by Jonathan Potter

You are a warm front


that moved in from the north,


a blind spot bearing beautiful gifts,


a garden in the air,

a golden filament


inscribed with the name of God’s hunting dog,


a magic heirloom mistaken for a feather duster,


a fountain in a cow pasture,

an anachronistic anagram


annoyed by anonymity,

a dollar in the pocket

of a winter coat in summer.

And I am the discoverer of you.
