I Work at Night
Within the ring of
summer
I work at night
the rain is falling
my heart is late
and there are no shores
across these old waters.
As if ghosts were
approaching
I work at death
the light of the earth
is
falling toward the night
with the smell of
rotting wood.
Like barking without
dogs
stones reveal the touch
of time.
