carving night

every at thin
scrim width pale
carving night
into shadow
and moonlight
each wingbeat
of heart

rattlebone clacks
stone rumble taps
fingers at posts
point candled
for windowed
callers

    Excellent. I love how the first stanza creates this dreamlike night. And the ending, “point candled /
    for windowed / callers” Seems like an invitation to this dreamlike world. For those who can find it.
