Another Poem About Time & Reality

(C) R.L.K.

(For Theresa)

The clouds, scrambled above the treetops,
That make the landscape this particular landscape;
The rain, dripping from the porch railing,
That make this evening what it is;

So summer ends, with most of the houses in darkness
And nearly everyone asleep, but you and I, somehow,
Have lingered, awake together, by this window a while.
