THE LIVING DARK By Claribel Weeks Avery We were sitting by the grapevines where the clustered. And the air was filled with sweetness such as summer never knew, And a wind that slept by daylight and had now come Shook the empty nest above us whence the birds We were not alone together, for the night was there, bejeweled hair, And the moon stole through the tangles like a roguish Poking with her golden fingers at the dark and Then the insects ceased their humming and the waters.
