Evening at Kuerners, by Andrew Wyeth (USA) 1970

Evening at Kuerners
after Wyeth
 
twilight claims the day
          the ice mountain stream
flows more quietly
          as it passes the house
bird cries settle silently
          on barren branches
and the wind
          blows a little colder
within the wood realm
          night creatures open eyes
watching the pale sky
          turn dark and secure
a stray twig taps softly
          against the shed window
and slender weeds
          tentatively caress
the sides of the house
          as all colour disappears
no smoke rises
          from the chimney
and within the house
          there is but a single light
    
E. D. Lloyd-Kimbrel  

This poem first appeared in Foxtail, and was reprinted in Dan River Anthology.

In one way or another, E. D. Lloyd-Kimbrel has been writing since childhood, with poetry a constant. Over the years, here and there, off and on, in-between various employments and academic endeavors and geographical locations, she has published creative non-fiction, biographical, critical, and scholarly articles and essays in peer-reviewed publications, and a scattering of poems in little literary journals.
