After Long Busyness


Painting by Renee La Compte


After Long Busyness


I start out for a walk at last
after weeks at the desk.
Moon gone plowing underfoot no stars;
not a trace of light!
Suppose a horse were galloping toward me
in this open field?
Every day I did not spend in solitude was wasted.
