Here, where twilight stains southern slopes
and rubs the valley with cinder hand

are hours fey, and transient-
exhalations lilac, dogwood, plum

as the city`s cinders start
their soundless arabesque on distant hills

do not speak, or comment- just remain
where the alder holds you, face to the darkening sky

so in the velvet, on the night-hawks call
your private vision-quest, your mini-revelation


finds you stricken, in the ordinary-
cradeling May`s evening in your eye.

I love the uniqueness of this poem, and uniqueness is what we all strive for, but few can find. You have found it, and the verses were a delight to read.
