Twilight
Towards sundown, where the road turns
at the edge of the village, where the immense
olive tree groves spread at the time when
the faraway mountains and the shades of trees
shine light blue hues, five big sizes, hairy and
wide-mouthed men arrive, and after they lay
a very high ladder on the soil they leave. Then
the silent woman, with her face hidden in her hair,
comes, leans the big ladder on the trunk of a conifer
and climbs.
