Summer twilight outside the hamburger shop,
angry grey clouds blowing in from the west;
    down the street, the last cicada is chirring.

    springing up like magic

Out of the hot wind into the café;
slashing rain upon emerging:
    the spirit of the wind-change.

Chasing the setting sun -
    the magic of the West
    beckons us on.

Pitch-black hillside;
    sinking amongst the trees,
    the moon's crescent, needle-sharp.

Outside my window, a sunset world:
a hillside made of orange-green light.
    I go outside to belong to it.

Sudden look-out on the autumn mountain-side:
    I tower over the misty valley
    bathed in liquid gold.
 
suggested Fri., 3 Apr., 1998
written Sun., 5 Apr., 1998
