Equinox

(C) R.L.K.

a leaf    away

    out in shadow
                   now
                   how
    dark upon the hill

today    away
gone like the others    to the wind
    that blows across the hill
    that blows a leaf    away

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.
