Twilight<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The cold brass of sun slides<\/p>\n
the evening leaves.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Star magnolias spin<\/p>\n
on the surface of the pond<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
like a tattered gown.<\/p>\n
The moon slips<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
from night\u2019s fingers<\/p>\n
as a broad-winged crane descending\u2014<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
no more reason to hold herself<\/p>\n
so far above the world.<\/p>\n
