ONE DARKNESS

1

 In March the evenings

are already long;

at six it's not yet dark -

except inside

human abode & mind.

2

Outside trees become

black paper-cuts on

the gray-white background

of snow and cloud,

birch, pine and fir

mingle darkly in the gloom,

with wind moving their branches

weave the black

cloth of night

3

In March the evenings

are already long;

yet at half past six

the black trees merge

into one darkness.
