Below the Stars

 

Rescued
Rescued




A train whistles in the night,

rumbles and clacks over

the rustling of cornstalks

drying and dried of life;

tomato plants sprawl silently

beneath scrappy blankets,

protected against early frost,

in a small garden lying

below the stars of autumn




“…there is a harmony

In autumn, and a lure in the sky....”

~ Percey Bysshe Shelley


Author's note: Inspired by an evening at home in Milestone, Sk
