A teal twilight inks cobalt silhouettes
while shining stars unveil their twinkling lights.
And shadows slink forth, melding with the night,
as a setting sun feigns a scarlet death.
Pink clouds cluster at the horizon's edge,
absorbing shades of cerise and purple.
And daylight shrinks to a brindled aura,
reflected in rusty crystals of ice.
Dusk weeps dewdrops yet grieves to no avail
as darkness dims the last lingering light.
And brisk breezes whisk heat away in gusts,
eerily chilling both body and soul.
Long skeletal fingers anchor the sky
to a lone tree rooted in ebony.
And a marshmallow moon appears snagged,
in the netting of its Velcro branches.
Creatures of the dark stir from sleep's slumber,
in the wake of a disappearing sun.
And as silence rules, sound bends to its will,
all but a cricket's haunting, piercing shrill.
