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

hats off
come cloudless
float in the stars

for the garden
at night
for this
