In the hour of not quite rain
|
when the fog was fingertip high
|
The moon hung suspended
|
in a singular sky
|
|
Deeply and beyond seeing
|
not wishing to intrude
|
Bathed in its own reflection
|
the water mirrored the moon
|
|
The tumbling birds have now sobered
|
from the leaves of their nursery
|
Like shadowy, quiet children
|
watching sleepily
|
