Vintage verse – After Yesterday by A.R. Ammons

After Yesterday

After yesterday
afternoon’s blue
clouds and white rain
the mockingbird
in the backyard
untied the drops from
leaves and twigs
with a long singing.

by A.R. Ammons (1926–2001)

Thanks for posting this. A. R. Ammons is an excellent poet who is sadly neglected these days.
