Azimuth

I watch as twilight
creeps over the Brothers,
stars re-birth
beckoning over 
mountains

a shimmering black mantel
conceals Azimuth,
her seductive ebony lips

slide,
over the lamp

A visage of ivory
looks upon earth, drifting 
shadow to shadow
passing as a will-o-wisp 
of ebony vistas,
 
always out of reach

still,
the Horizon
mesmerizes me, 
ebony lips and a mantel 
of seduction,
rolls with reverence effaced,
Azimuth’s arms await,

shaded in Grey, I stand east
as the Brothers release her folds

I am ever watchful 
reaching for her hold
