I love the simplicity of your writting, saying as much as you can with as little as you can. Just a couple of things I would draw your attention to, you use the word 'constant' in the opening line and 'grows' in the fourth, I thought it was a little bit strange to have something constant grow. Just check your definitions, something which is constant is quantitatively fixed. Other than that...superb!

The day reaches a climax and dies... BANG... BOOM. Adding "into the somber evening" almost insults the death of the day.
If you're looking for the WOW factor - the piece ends at "and dies."![]()
I think the title works, even though it is a bit bland for the strength of the poem - there is such meat in the poem, so much meaning in such a short piece - you want a title that can stand up to the work.
Nice job.
