    Summer Sunset

    Passage of the longest day
    Conflated with night.
    Diffused time:
    No reason to long for sleep
    No reason to hide within walls
    No reason at all.
    Sintering of red and orange, brightest yellow.
    The external clock slowed and silent
    Allowing the enjoyment of sound:
    Cricket chirp, cicada buzz, soft bird song.
    Risible fireflies chased by children
    Some captured- their flares magnified in jars.
    Both unaware of the impermanence:
    No end to summer’s dance
    No end to summer’s warmth
    No end to summer.
    Dawdling sunset lazily makes way
    For lissome twilight’s twinkles.
