The Eleventh Hour

You can go no further; stop.

Blue granite, steep cliff, face, sharp chin.

Faded blaze hammered to tree trunk,

gravel scattered, the carving of water in earth.

Footfalls on griege and rough stone, unstable.

A wide pathway crumbles upon descent.

Turn back as night falls.

An hour of work in the vinyard yet remains.
