Donald Revell says:

Sha-

Dow,

As of

A meteor

At mid-

Day: it goes

From there.

 A perfect circle falls

Onto white imperfections.

(Consider the black road,

How it seems white the entire

Length of a sunshine day.)

 Or I could say

Shadows and mirage

Compensate the world, 

Completing its changes

With no change.

 In the morning after a storm,

We used brooms. Out front,

There was broken glass to collect.

In the backyard, the sand

Was covered with transparent wings. 

The insects could not use them in the wind

And so abandoned them. Why

Hadn’t the wings scattered? Why

Did they lie so stilly where they’d dropped?

It can only be the wind passed through them.

 Jealous lover,

Your desire

Passes the same way.

 And jealous earth,

There is a shadow you cannot keep

To yourself alone.

At midday,

My soul wants only to go

The black road which is the white road.

I’m not needed 

Like wings in a storm, 

And God is the storm. 

I liked this poem because it compared two very different things effectively. It uses a simile in the whole poem to compare the morning after the storm and a jealous lover. I didn’t really like the bracketed phrase in the beginning and yet still don’t know why it is there.
