Night-Herons

Hudson Review, The, Autumn 2002 by Sexton, Tom

A cold wind that promises snow

has stripped the maples' deep red fire.

Was it only yesterday when

crickets were singing in that field?

Nothing remains of the autumn

I thought was encased in amber.

Even the marsh seems old and worn

now that the night-herons have flown.
