Poetry Wednesday #46

Thoughts driving home after work

Pink sun,

Floating,

       Sinking,

Awash in a orange sky that's

Blued at the edges–

Daylight lingers now,

So, so long,

In high summer.

Daylight lingers, but

Darkness drops fast

And hard

Upon the awaiting world below.

Blink,

And it's upon you–

Shadows hiding in shadows–

And for a moment,

Not even the stars are out.
