Serr-noz

DUSK

 

A gray sky --- low

Ashes; running into the black trees

A gray sky descending low

To wrap the earth in its soft coat

That extends the calm above the warren

...mysterious.

A bat

Circles silently---

Peaceful night!

And then, all of a sudden,

Down there against the flank of the hill,

An impatient bellowing

Tears through the night's peace...

A heifer strayed away.

 

November 1965.
