Kit Kelen #150 - dusk and the dark that follows - two poems

 

150

dusk and the dark that follows

clear shot all the way across

the kangaroo coin rolls over the valley

to where the cattle rubbed these last days

pause listening then

the air chills still

dusk mauve

shape that could be cloud

*

a little possum

along the veranda

sets off the sensor light

sneaks away

well lit

in fright

and actually

not so little
