A Poem

A Glass Face In The Rain

Sometime you'll walk all night. You'll
come where the sky bends down. You'll turn
aside at a fold in the earth and
be gone from the day.

When the sky turns light again
the land will stare blank for miles
at itself. You won't be there
to see any more.

Back where you lived, for those
who remember well, there will come
a glass face, invisible but still and reall,
all night outside in the rain.

--William Stafford
