when the day is done and the green is brown
and shadow is the deeper purple, and when
the earth gives up its warmth to the stars, I
walked one evening, direction of Jupiter to the
darkening east, while the nightjar echoed empty fields
I stood where smaller noises become: dusk
to night, the tethered bull, the calf’s raised head,
the creaking elms, whispers above, stems below,
depths of space; silence; was it Selene within
the lap of dusk or the white barn owl, that
blackened or, then, silver-plated, the night
with a quietude that freed me from the tired eyes
of day to reverie while the planet turned; morning –
it is half past five when I start the milking,
I arrive beforehand with the spaciousness of valley
where breezes end and leaves are still and
no longer conscious of breath and vale; a thought
is born, from one come two, coruscating within
seconds, each one nearer to the vertex of
ultimate truth; the stars in their patterns
out of time; questions asked and answered at
accelerating rate, brutal logic ceding to the
preceding cause – reversal of effect; but the pace
is too much, I flounder and sink as I lose
momentum; but I have brushed the grey curtain
aside and my cup runneth over as the Left hand
lifts the veil on the eastern horizon we are reborn
with the stripling day; no energy lost, just changed;
the air is scented green along the unused road,
within a mother’s arms again
