The giant’s child

The sun set
over the lake
behind the trees:
skeletal limbs, crisp
leaves and gull wings
silhouetted against
a pewter-golden sky.
The lake melted
into alchemy.

With dozens
of Light-Lovers’ wins
in my camera,
I turned my back,
walked east, found
a house ablaze
and the giant’s child
calmly watching
the sun set.



No montage and nothing tricksy here - it's just how the light was amusing itself before bedtime.
