Emotions are a Marsh at Sundown
Like a sundial
These alterations are worn
Across the body’s facades:
The little light of rage,
Big light of love,
And death with his cool hands.
Sometimes, there is happiness,
The true kind, that is a pale light
At sundown.
It falls on the flowers
And causes them to undress
Their yellow skirts.
In the pools of brackish water
A disinherited moon
Shines like memory shines.
