Kit Kelen #750 - the garden at night (two versions)

750

(two versions of the garden at night)

1

night at the garden

hats off

perfect

bird abandoned

lush in little distances

invisible, all edge

after the all-day drought

tidy where I've seen to

cool underfoot by path

towering, the forest left

much taller for the dark

all of day but us abed

most of night too shy to show

which frogs are for this chorus?

leaves lap at the falling dew

then how indoors looms above

bright, as in a book

past the light

a zoo of doing

circus

for the fairy camp

hats off

come cloudless

float in the stars

for this

night at the garden

the garden at night

cool underfoot by path

tidy where I've seen to

after the all-day drought

lush in little distances

best invisible to edge

all of day but us abed

and towering, the forest left

much taller for the dark

then how indoors looms above

bright, as in a book

most of night too shy to show

leaves lap falling dew

past light

a zoo of doing

and chorus for the frogs

hats off

come cloudless

float in the stars

for the garden

at night

for this
