Re: Grey Dawn in the Deep South / Will Dockery

Grey Dawn In the Deep South
>
In the grey dawn
when the heavy valley air
takes the city
in foggy arms
>
Almost chilly streets
that will lose this soon
in the sunshine noon
and afternoon hot as blazes.
>
In the grey dawn
when the frogs croak
and two cats watch for birds.
>
Rumbling sound
of the car next door
across the bushes that keep us apart.
>
In the grey dawn
hear a distant train
that comes closer to my street
on a crawl from Macon.
>
Whistle whining
from a long way from here.
>
A Monday that will soon
burn with daylight
heat and brightness so intense
it seems loud and pounding.
