Two Days

 
 Two Days
  
 Today fades on the flat air.
 Hammer blows on a dull bell,  
             leave a throbbing 
 in the silence 
 on the gray afternoon.

 Wind waving leaves washing light.
 That was a sunny day 40 years ago;
 a glowing light with a field in it
                         of tall yellow grass
                                     and a red haired girl.
