At this hour

At this hour
sky and river
textures differ,
but not tone.

All day long
the shaman-koels'
incantations
summoned rain.

Now the neutral
layers of last light
concatenate
with shade.

A huge soft bird,
a dove-like being
descends, extending
shadow wings.

Upon its crown,
a gleaming glyph
appears, the slender
crescent moon.
