Late Afternoon
The street has a choir --
on days with a breeze the big poplar sings,
its two tall trunks covered with leaves
that are one side green
and one side grey;
the poplar's taller than the lighthouse,
both at the end of the street,
just past where the pavement turns into clay;
when the tide is low ...
but herons are elsewhere; the old man is saying
the big poplar sings on days with a breeze
with leaves one side green
and one side grey.
Thanks for posting 😀 x
