at dusk

night falls
shadows
suggest themselves
around everyday objects,
tree and fence, stile and barn
carefully wrapped and
hidden away
in the evening damp
like toys in the nursery,
carefully set away
for the next day's play

night falls
in the growing dusk
young lovers
rush joyfully bedward
cares abandoned
with the day's clothes strewn-
hopes embraced
with passion's ardor

night falls
and the sojourner,
travel stained and road weary,
careworn, hopeless, and save for one,
settles down
for sleep
for rest
for peace
at the last

rich in imagery, each word stands alone in power and magnificence. BRAVO! multi-layered, sensoral--a masterpiece! truly, one of your best (along with "wawatay, the people are dancing," my other favorite)
