Between the acts, the interval.

The leaves were late to fall, this fall.

Between the verdict and the doom,

a whisper in the waiting-room.

A non-event between events

holding a secret and a sense.

A winter wind just whispers where

two winter trees stand tense and bare.

Writing Twilight

Ashland, Oregon, 2014

On August thirtieth

on the deck above the deck

above the little leaf-hidden river

where old raddled hippies

smoke pot and shout fuck at each other

in the small city

that thrives on Shakespeare’s language

in the late evening

of the late summer

of the late, late age we’ve come to

I sit and hear the crickets chorusing

and a far crow caw

and I want to write a poem

that says late twilight

and the very end of August,

my golden August,

and all summer
