Close of Day
Until tomorrow’s explanation
dusk will have to do.
It’s an inhuman job
one that needs an entire planet
to give it definition.
Leaves bow before a gusting wind
frenzied silhouettes
backlit by the dying sky’s slow turn
to darkness. Soon enough
the trial is over. Judgement is delayed.
I step back into artificial light
pleased to know all that was
is no more and night is forever
until the disbelief of another day.
