Teton Goodnight
TETON GOODNIGHT
From the hollows in stone the departing sun
Pours the twilight round the mountains’ curtains,
Drawing together their shades’
Gold end. Aye, the golden day
Is spent, worn against
Raw rock thrown upright two miles high:
Bouldered shoulders close over -
Michael’s knelling golden clarion.
…………………………………………………………………………
NOTE
The Tetons in Wyoming - one of my favorite places.
They are seen to excellent advantage in the movie “Shane”.
