Evening light

A Poem by Antonionioni

The contrast between natural and unnatural light sources

Sonnet 621 - Saturday 17 May 2008

The late spring evening light a ghostly glow

The trees in full leaf a green Berlin Wall

Through the French door light turns into shadow

Created by the table, chairs and all

Such seasonal impressions can soon fall

Like autumn leaves, like reasons and like love

Someone walks in, depresses swich on wall

And harsh electric light glares from above

Scaring nature away with brutal shove

Boxing glove charm despatching those below

From momentary communion with it all

The real world, inhuman as it wove

Its invisible silk web we can’t know

Until deafened to evening TV’s call

© 2008 Antonionioni
