1872, 2018, 6*, black, chimney, contemplation, earth, Eternity, grey, hill, horizon, leaves, moon, path, Pissarro, red, sky, winter, woodland
at the brow of even mild hills
on the curve of the red-leaf path
the copse at either side will be
black and hack-hack skeletal and
the tatterdemalion-grey sky
will seem like the moon has
come too close to Earth, only
the ridge and chimney of the next
dwelling sits down beyond the
brow quietly contemplating eternity
Impression of Winter: Carriage on a Country Road, 1872 by Camille Pissarro – the only image I could find online, but it is not the colours I have seen

thank you, Sharon; I wish I could find a better representation of the painting online; the one I wrote the poem to was in a book
