dusk


shot through with
            sudden being--
light particles dance
            on my tongue--
the twilight descends
            a dizzy steel blue.

when was the last time air
            smelled sweet as this—
evenings coated with
            cocoa & hibiscus—
last remnants of melancholy
            melted into pavement. 

my soul is overrun
            with soft-grown lilacs—
smiles come warm as
            mulberry wine—
both murmurs and silence
            settle contemplatively in.
