Landscape with Figures

Frank Ormsby

What haunts me is a farmhouse among trees
Seen from a bus window, a girl
With a suitcase climbing a long hill
And a woman waiting.
The time the bus took to reach and pass
The lane's entrance, nothing was settled,
The girl still climbing and the woman still
On the long hill's summit.
...
Searching, please wait...
