IMITATIO

IMITATIO (Dickinson J130/Fr122)

These are the dusks when Deer come down –
The garden roses done –
Because November hides repast
Remarkable as none.

The leaves are dun – the branches fawn –
The vegetation brown –
But widowed creatures find a feast –
Like Ruth – while gleaning ground.

(6 December 2009, Pleasant Grove, Utah)
