THE HEATH AT DUSK
The moon!
First pale, chalky white
rising above a pink sky
and the city below
grey boxes and slim cranes
spotted with red dots
and the windows of the high rise buildings
looking as if they were
on fire from
the sun sinking below the trees
in the west
leaving a huge orange glow
and the moon
glowing with an inner
significance like a cream circle
of oil paint
spherical and huge
a plate of pearly light
rising above the heath
and the roof tops
of London town.

Jehane Markham is a true poet...
her poems glow like impressionist paintings.

Love wells up out of Jehane Markham's
work... it made me cry.
