Earth Shadow Poem by Grant House

Earth Shadow

Rating: 5.0


Earth shadow
Climbs red mountain
Purple deep remains
Breathes me in
Tomorrow Autumn

Heron blue clouds
Translucent sky
And everyone down below
Notice it's early still
And getting dark already

Darkness drives me home tonight
Old brain wakes from summer hibernation
Like bats and owls and other creatures of the night
That ageless part of me
Sees better in the dark

Sixty-eight times
I have crossed this threshold
Earth shadow
Climbing red mountain
Purple deep
Heron blue clouds
Translucent sky

Everyone down below
Notices

It's early still
And dark already
