In the Evening by Billy Collins
By Jim HendrickPosted: 10/10/2024
In The Evening - Billy Collins
The heads of roses begin to droop.
The bee who has been hauling his gold
all day finds a hexagon in which to rest.
In the sky, traces of clouds,
The last few darting birds,
watercolor on the horizon.
The white cat sits facing a wall.
The horse in the field is asleep on its feet.
I light a candle on the wood table.
I take another sip of wine.
I pick an onion and a knife.
And the past and the future?
Nothing but only a child with two different masks.
😃 This poem was read by Ed Rinderle at A Poetry Gathering in Washington Park.
