I arrive in the twilight
Watching night coming on
Things shape now into a
Newly-unknown reality.
Not a light on the patio
Save the lowered gleam of
My phone
Gunnar on the edges,
Going out onto patrol
As twilight gives way
Fireflies
Meanwhile,
Spare, barely noticed—
The hummingbirds have gone to bed
Bullfrogs quiet and sonorous—
A drop of rain
A drop of rain
A drop of rain
Gentle
On this bounty
I won’t ever tip us out
Of our little sailing moonshadow
Seems the rocky seas do
Rock us
Gently now.
