Dusk, Mountains, Pine Painting by Kevin Macneil Brown, watercolor on paper, June 2011
That one white pine in
one dark brush-stroke reaching up
from curve of hard
New Hampshire ridgeline
is held now
in the heart and in
a granite chamber
of memory
So that
here at the edge
of the longest day
possible in this latitude
I feel it again:
The lifting ache of
something ancient.
