by Lloyd Schwartz (b. 1941)
In the mist
Language: English
On cool, damp evenings at the end of July, you can walk into a mist: and the mist seems to disappear - from the dirt road; from the hill; from the trees... But in the full moon, you can begin to see it again - it gets closer, leaving a ring of clearness around you, as you walk down the hill toward the house with the light left in the window.
