Lawrence Hall [email protected] (This poem may be considered as a dyptich / diptych / dipstick with "The Dreariness of Dawn") The Dreariness of Dusk Anticipated no victories today Expected no letters to be answered Or packages of life to be delivered Not given even the hope of a hope But… But, no, the weary hours were unrelieved The weary, dreary hours of near-despair Plodding like a mule harnessed to the past And given only the ghost of a ghost As was expected, the teapot was warm - “Yes, but there ain’t going to be no tea” 1 1 Katherine Mansfield
