Dusk

I have not been here before.
The low river is blue as the sky,
an acre of pebbles rises from the middle,
pale and sweet.
Behind me, a full moon
splits an eastern dusk to ash,
rich brown sharp trees open
to lingering green orange west.

I am murdered in
the earth's revolution,
spreading out in sleep,
rising anew like the first star.
