“Claude” artist of illumination
In coercion of elaborated Christmas rhyme
Trees dimmed and porches resumed architectural silhouettes
And traffic lights rested
In their
4/4 time
Steel egrets with brilliant bulbous-beaks
Closed their mouths over asphalt streams
Twice the days a week
Seven days hold
An appearance I don’t quite understand.
It’s been years since I was banned
From the tribe or the land
Still the approach
Something cloaked
From day night and light of man
Through night as thick as mud
Walked beyond the store fronts
And like friends estranged by longitudinal lines
We savored the time
Saying nothing
As street lamps
Candle
Window
Love
Lights-
Dimmed way.
