(4) PS Illustrated by Qin Leng. "Day's left the stage. / Night's in the wings." A small town's children, depicted tenderly but not sentimentally, take to their windows to observe a summer evening's pageantry: e.g., "Fireflies' glint-glints / sparkle the scene / earth-stars glimmering / a shimmering green." This thought-coaxing book-length poem features a growing-list-of-sounds refrain in a cursive that can strain the eyes at times.
