Empty now, stillness reigns

Memory coursing through my veins,

Husk dry desert of the mind

Eyes now cloaked make me blind

 

Evening scent I breathe in deep

Creating soporific sleep

Summer dusk envelopes skies

Of orange suns that say goodbye.

 

Relax now the day dissolves

And runs down into unseen holes

That draw life’s poison from my frame

To rivers of cathartic drains

 

Cloak of twilight shimmers mist

Of dancing fingers that slowly twist

Drifting over honey fields

Of silent sentinels  of meals

 

Warm air dampens every sound

Still now blankets daytime down

Dreamland shuffles quietly in

And fades away at morning din.
