Saskatchewan Summer Evening

SASKATCHEWAN  SUMMER  EVENING



Porch light spreads weakly out
Into the field and dissipates
In the buzz of grasshoppers.
Starlight and fireflies; crickets chirp.
Hot air shimmers the lights of the far highway.
Grain train pulls out, juddering
And clanging its slow way to speedy freedom.
