Black evergreens
Sentineled in
The moonwhite night’s
Bone-cheeked
Privet-hedged
Sun-swallowing
Transparency
Present arms,
Stand watch,
Expunge the light.
Erasers of the moon—
Expansive perimeters,
Silver glimmering
Shrinking circumferences—
Close ranks,
Jostle in quickstep,
Retract themselves inward,
Vanish in darkness’s
Juniper-redolent
Imperial honor guard.
