Kit Kelen #1309 - at a stretch


1309
at a stretch

last haze of July
no sun to see
fire ban brought forward a month

in-misted
unfurrow

to Bulah for zumba not on
to Taree for Mazda

too damp to burn a thing

in among the sundry shocks
certain somethings gone

in winter all obscurity
coming from going to night

bright hearth
precious to tend

steam off the roof
birds beyond hearing

first of August
nine degrees in the shedbrary

lifting
and on the sill
solar folly goes mad
in its clouded glass

an ache is the weather in
and there are fine times too

it’s sunshine stripes the wall of day
then morning shows the dust
