At afterglow time / To Bentley’s – Pipers – woods & frogs in the glassy ponds – In the twilight woods – a leaf rustle – a bird flies up at my foot unseen – a stray wind in the trees – I heard the stream coming out of gray void – Hoary ghostly fields – wet soggy turf a star low in the east – / I dreamt of wildflowers last night –
