Tropic Winter

By Evelyn Scott


THE AFTERNOON is frozen with memories,
Radiant as ice.
The sun sets amidst the agued trembling of the leaves;
Sinking right down through the gold air
Into the arms of the sea.	5
And the enameled wings of the palm trees
Keep shivering, shivering,
Beating the gold air thin…
