#2332 -- a day like this won't last

a day like this won’t last

ekphrastic for E. Phillips Fox’ 1900 ‘Autumn Showers

 

this is all the world there is

 

cloud for bright

a rippling breeze

 

one tree above the others

 

a great absence of cows

 

horizon incised

 

fences fallen to mud

sun lost in thicket of

 

sky worn thin

day cropped to it

 

storm to gather all in

 

no one’s yet arrived

 

you could tumble down a hill like this

land almost in the drink
