Late Blue


Late Blue

Late blue
Dark green
Only the extremities
Are gilt

A corner pane
Sheer view
That is
Through sheers

Though an unmitigated
View
As far
As I could go

Gradient Light


Gradient Light

It’s late
In that
The mid-autumn sun
Sets
Much earlier
Than summer’s

I rose late
Because there was
Strange peace
In the house
Perhaps
Perhaps
And inside
Me

While it is green and blue
Still
Lit by yellow
Yet I know
The coming darkness
That hints already
Shall
Arrive

It will be night
And with some stars
Perhaps
Or that bright
Waning moon
We’ve had
These past nights
A gift
Of supernal light
From
Evening
Crafters

And a surprise
For being
Large
In the sky
The
Brightness of the Lord
Even
In waning
