A Patio
A Patio - meaning Summary
Patio as Inward Sky
This short poem presents a quiet domestic space where the patio becomes a liminal channel between sky and house. Evening calms colours and the moon does not dominate; instead the patio lets the sky slope inward, making cosmic order intimate. The scene frames serenity and an approachable sense of eternity at the crossroads of stars. It concludes by valuing the “friendly dark” of threshold spaces as peaceful refuge.
Read Complete AnalysesAt evening they grow weary, the patio's two or three colours. Tonight, the moon, bright circle, fails to dominate space. Patio, channel of sky. The patio is the slope down which sky flows into the house. Serene, eternity waits at the crossroad of stars. It's pleasant to live in the friendly dark of entrance-way, arbour, and cistern.
