The winter moon has such a quiet car (Hillaire Belloc)

the winter moon has such a quiet car

coasting


pale soaked skies still
wet with daylight and
the

hills

are again a collapse
heaving hot they


are old alive they


breathe naked turn
their eyes up


to the moon,

and stars


peeling one by one out of the

growing dark.
