A Poem of the Night



A Poem of the Night

A poem 
is a thought 
of flowers 
near frost, 
dangling stiff, 
bitten by 
the vampire teeth 
of late fall, 
hanging desolate 
near dusk 
from a pot 
on a patio porch 
a yellow light
bulb beaming 
conspicuously outward 
over chilled yellow
green glazed grass.
Snow now, the Aster
deep purple,
falls last.
