Talus Road (1 July 2005)

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
