Poem written and narrated by Christine Valters Paintner. Music by Jake Morgan.

lyrics

Vespers

The sun slides down
the gap between houses
its amber reach crosses the grass
toward me, shadow of the elder tree
has grown long and I remember
under the mulberry spectacle of sky
how everything I love must end:
this cup of tea with steam ascending,
the dog curled right against me,
your warm hands over mine,
how this sweet leaving of day
makes me draw the world
as close as possible.

---Christine Valters Paintner

From the poetry collection Dreaming of Stones (Paraclete Press)
