Anselm Hollo
from Pick Up the House (1986)

 

 
Petit Chanson
 
 

 

One of those quiet moments
when things fall into shape
       and be: wind gently blowing
       residual raindrops
       against the window

daytime frazzle collapses
into sweet darkness

and the moment, while officially
3:00 A.M., is all the eternity
one will ever know
