Midnight Landscape Poem by Barry Middleton

Midnight Landscape



the sodium yellow moon
pours silver and topaz
on the velvet whisper
of a blackwater bayou

the bright thunder moon
mutes celestial diamonds
with a dark umber fog
that paints a sable sky

my old boat is pulled
back through the eons
sculling past invisible
giant silent sauropods

and here in the essence
of time's secret argument
shadowed gods concede
as a frog sings to midnight
