Scavengers

SCAVENGERS


The night sun buries his face to earth,
Slowly suspending his daily harvest -
Piles of colour and heaps of brightness 
In oast house and warm barn.


Rays of darkness  
Speed across the twilight 
Sky, steal into small corners of the loft,
Scavengers ransacking the day.
Greens devoured by omnivores;
Nothing left but black.
