I am Twilight
Blue
Violet
Red, mauve and maroon
I am brown swirling
Mingling
With shades of black and blue
And gray

I am Twilight
Laundry hanging out to dry
Being of heaven and earth
Yet not
In space all my own
Not owned by soil
Nor by sky
Nor light
Nor dark

Till I am dry and lie again in slumber
To clothe the creature who treads
Shadows that lie long
To welcome the howling of light long gone

I am wisp, the quiet pondering of Night
My muse. My quiet, indulgent muse
Who turns her back to her husband, Light

Two of light and shade
One of both


I am Twilight

Son
Bearer
Bridge
Clothesline
Clothing
Of colored red, mauve maroon
Blue, black, gray, violet
Brown

I am Twilight
The shade of light
The brightness of eventide.
