Tuesday Poem 'The Evening is Loud with Life' by Claire Gaskin

Leaning on the language of leaving
and the road a line from a song,
the door smiles open

After the crescendo
the tick of the clock
and a car driving past

Headlights behind her
she is approaching me
moon walk with my daughter.

Claire Gaskin, A Bud, John Leonard Press, 2006.
