Raking Leaves
The poet is priest of the invisible.
Wallace Stevens
All day the gathering
these pen-cupped hands
falling to the ground
rasped into piles

placed with care
in large paper bags
tied with hemp string
left to be carried.

Raking all the rest into
one open ground space
I burn them in silence
hot firebrands of ash

rising to an ancient
night wind

in the distance
far and wide

thunder scatters
the unsaid.

B.D. MacMahon
