Light Magic

Laura Sherry

THE VALLEY curves like a bridge-span to the sky.

Blue granite stew-pans spill pink begonias along the road.

The town hall, blazing red, focuses the red stubble of fields

Which stretch away to gold-stacked corn-stalks,

And Wisconsin hills—piled cubes of red and yellow.

The sunset catches the landscape in layers.

Its amber floats a banner of pastels around the town.
