. On a cliff Off Whitefish Bay Facing East Toward Sault Sainte Marie The wooden cabins Seem especially still In the last dusk light There are so few Cars on the road This time of year That often all one will hear For hours on end is the wind Rustling the autumn leaves On some nights There is only the sound of waves Lapping the shore Beneath the glittering stars A silver moon So very three dimensional Slowly gliding above the sea And some times Though very rarely Now and only then if one Despite himself still believes There is a gentle echo In the evening air Of something almost Like a forgotten memory Softly fluttering its wings . |
