Dim and Bright
A grey coloured dusk in a flask of tea that day
and you
With the shaft of sunlight
Both dim and bright
Both the sapling and tall tree
The trio is at breaking the granite in the pen
for a song or two to come out
So that the tower of twilight could be raised
for climbing into the mist
Where you both exist and do not
There is everything or none
Both dusk and dawn
The boatman has disappeared, taking the sun with him
in his cabin
no, not so exactly
You didn't let him
There is the golden bun now on your hair
Languid layers of tales
Lemon in a cup of ale
The split in the dusk
The musk from the grass
The shadow of the horses
The long unused forceps
The hazy roses of the park
Especially in this half light half dark
Come to the lawn
Let us write a poem
That we will read at dawn
The quest of the shaft is on
