Old barn, brown calf

Sun sinking into azure sand,
tall grass,
green gone brown, gone red...

pink clouds in a turquoise sky
roll eternity into my head.

Deep black holes
in the old board fence
on a prarie plow rent,
frame
a small brown calf
soon to know abandonment.


My sight passes beyond
the sunken barn,
senses deeply honed by twilight:

How shall I cherish the nighthawks flight
without keeping it?
