Dark Trees
On a clear night dark trees
against a dark sky
all but disappear.
Tonight, cloud cover
filters the city's lights.
A fog curtain listens
as if after the last note
of the Moonlight Sonata
has drifted into where
there ought to be the moon.
Fall leaves on that eighty-foot
Sycamore across the street
stand out in place of missing stars.
