twilight yellowed after the storm
forest mountains hold low vapors
shades of devoured trees; chrysalis tents
in empty homes still silence
muted humid colors flood
branches bare maple, birch, poplar
harsh pink cast on stones
property lines unclear and open
trucks pound down gravel road
pond rests collapsed trees beneath surface skin
village green crowded and loud
eve comes with cold blue fog
this wasted day, this arriving night
