Twilight

What do I write about after a day of Domestic Violence training?  Today we covered Oppression, HIV, and Under-served Populations.  Another day I may explore some of that.  For now, I look at a world turning to night before my very eyes.

The snow in the yard

Is twilight blue.

The backyard lights

Illumine the feeding ground

For ducks

Across the way.

Already my yard turns

To purple and dark,

The trees to black.

Soon they will blend

Into the night sky,

Be gone

Til morning.

This is the way

Of twilight.

It asks for things to disappear

Before they reappear.

With morning

The lady in red

Comes with the light

Spreads corn over the snow.

The ducks will arrive

From wherever they have slept,

Invisible in the night.
