ANOTHER WORLD
After the guests have gone
The lights turned out
And wood heaped on the coals
The bright embers leaping to flame
Wind outside and the trees
Bowing to moonlight
Across the marsh a fox barks
And the dogs, foolish as city cops
On a dark country road
Take up their alarms
Knowing nothing
Of the wiles of their cousins
Or the ways of deer stepping from shadow
Into the threaded fields
That stitch their lives from woods to creek
As the creek stitches the moon to the river
You there asleep in the east
I know you dream of this
Waking to the thunk of another world
Tossed to your door
