Evensong

by Elizabeth McBride, published in Issue Three.

Plucking reedy
notes around the pond,
the bullfrogs sound
the song of evening,
calling back the afternoon
from the cattails’
close warm breath
above the cool
that now makes room
for dark to seep
between the leaves
among the stalks
into the night.
