Another photo copied in oil, then re-photographed. The picture inspired a short poem:

The sun rose,

just there,

today,

beside that tallest tree that marks

the branching of the village street

to right and left around

the green

that children use for football

as the day

ends.

I watched the dark

divide

and fall away to right and left,

blackbird calling

the day to come,

calling the light to come.

Yesterday?

Do not talk to me

of yesterday, dead,

its ashes buried overnight.

When the dark

divides

and falls away,

no shade

remains to haunt

the light of this new day.
