On an Afternoon

by Paganini Jones


1 Kings 17:6

winter
monochrome day
granite sky
dull clouds
grizzled grass
hoary path
dark woods
leaden tree
indistict faces
grey thoughts

faded sun
black bird
yellow beak
a crow?
flies above
rattles branches
scatters frost
drops bread
in communion

Elijah
in his wilderness
chooses life
goes on
over stone
and mire
to find
purpose in
silence
