Darkness Starts
by Christian Wiman .....  Hear Christian Wiman read this poem (in RealAudio)A shadow in the shape of a house slides out of a house and loses its shape on the lawn. Trees seek each other as the wind within them dies. Darkness starts inside of things but keeps on going when the things are gone. Barefoot careless in the farthest parts of the yard children become their cries.
