Hill Country Dusk

Milton Jordan

January 8, 2023

Once on a late September afternoon

supper finished, and the day a bit cooler

we avoided another evening’s news,

took the trail out around the near dry pond

and turned west beyond a small cedar grove

to see the sun falling below our view

as a fading sky exposed the last quarter 

of an old moon we’d seen new three weeks before.
