Eventide

Even in memory they are the same

Sunrise sunset

Hues of promise hues of completion

Life's brilliance opening up

Rising like an erection

Life's brilliance receding

Like the face of someone loved

Gone

My summer draws to a close

Already

I am not ready

Fall offers a season of color and repose
Yet its beauty is in decay

Let me go on with our summer play

Let me dance in your spring

Your abundance yet

Let us dance warm nights to our song

We lovers where nothing's either right or wrong
