Another late afternoon
leaves me in shadow,
eyes heavy with the weight
of unshielded hurts
seen only in the seconds
of dusk
when the sun begins to descend
beyond the horizon line.
These charcoal greys,
a play of positive and negative space
fill my thoughts
in the narrow hours
of another day
slipping away,
waiting for the night to swallow
all that remains
unseen.
