It Finds Us by Various Means

A fly comes. It leaves. The breeze picks up briefly, causing
The wind chime's tubes to tinkle. The water beneath
The highway bridge sparkles. Finished, for now, with Margery
Kempe, and her weeping and conversations with Jesus,
I sit in the sun with a beer. I am feeling a moment of grace
Of my own.

I am guessing it wasn't Marjory Kempe in 'person'... so a book perhaps. I can see you sitting in the sun, closed book by your side, and a beer to you lips. What was it you muttered? :o)
