Any particular time


 Any particular time

John Clare Stokes


Is there any particular time

When not upon the cusp of crying?

At the time of the lilies bending

The weight of blooming sending

Them downward

At the movement of clouds over

The fields with the wind whipped 

Corn clinging in unison 

At the call of the Coopers hawk

Circling then landing in the tallest

Pine 

Looking for the jesses he wore

When in captivity

Paying no mind to the crying lad
