Out of a cocoon of rain
emerges gleaming afternoon,
metallic handrails on a bridge
refracting cloud-lustre as pearl.
Chiaroscuro of old tombs,
newly-whitened sepulchres;
the river baring muddy gums
on either side; the ebbing tide
as evening spreads its dusky wings:
Granny's Cloak moth, zircon markings.

*It is recorded that one of Chekhov's
favourite pastimes was visiting
cemeteries.
