At Dusk, the Cold Front

Out of the great nothing,
something

You, lighters of lanterns,
wait


The stars will illumine
your way

They wait for the dark,
steady

They watch the winds
swirl


Meanwhile the door
percusses

Asleep, the puppy
groans


Out there the bell, old now,
clinks



Will the stars fathom
my words?

And I
their winks?

All around, the forest
roars.
