Peace is an Inconspicuous Flower (Dialectic of the Lost V)



I have yet to find
 anything as beautiful
as a cool Autumn night -
 feet firmly
in the sparsely grassed yard,
head back,
eyes closed,
breathing in the season.

The only light I perceive
is the slivered splotch
from the porch across the yard -
like a stem across my closed lids,
encouraging the dark to bloom.
