a dark cloud blocks
the Summer sunset,
but light won’t be pent.

a dark cloud blocks
the Summer sunset,
but light won’t be pent.
The light of day's end
brings out the sandy
grit of the arid
landscape.
The light of day's end
matches & compounds
the color of the
desiccated vegetation.
The light of day's end
turns the world
into someplace new --
somewhere I've never
been before.
My body knows this is
nothing like Mars;
my mind does not.


sun sets upon
the river delta:
then pitch black night.
