A plate of glass
shallows ankle deep,
brew of fern and dark water
where the dogs of rain
bark at nothing and ghosts
and the soft beds of trees bury
a family of rough cloth; coal-eaters
sheltering by dim-water fire,
the cold loam under
whips of sleet,
turn of mud and bone,
the rain soaking the night
as it does;
waiting for the first
strained light.
