Ember

Of autumn field, and the low October light.

Of an English field, at October.

A warm ferruginous ground, the colour of turned earth.

Of the face of the house; of dressings.

Best coursed in long, quiet beds; weathers to a deeper rust.

From the same part

Of quiet façades, and the patience of chapter houses.

Of middle England, and the light in a market square.

Of late afternoon, on a West Country wall.
