A day of mixed moods—


Sky dark,
Then white and blue;

Wind brightening the room
Or dimming on cue.


The shadow play of leaves
Torments me with your grief

Conjures your form
But when I turn you're gone.


It’s a sunny day in June
For your ghost to be exhumed

I’d expect you in the fall
When there is no life at all.
