Between Day and Night
Between the blue sprawl of day
And the expired light of night,
A seductive winding-down
by a sky no longer drawn tight.
Clouds wisp across a molten orb
Like fingers over an amber eye,
Steal sapphire from the sea,
Leave a long spill of golden dye.
The beach sips lapping water
Lacquered in gray and white,
Shows a slick of sand glowing,
paved with dusk’s lamplight.
Sun-shrilled colors muted
by the moon’s proximity,
Voices join a murmuring tide,
Floating snippets of clarity.
At water’s edge, two people
Gazing out, front-lit, backs black,
Moving to a spacious rhythm
hidden in the waning sun’s slack.
Scattered notes drift unhurried
from a guitar strummed unseen.
Or is it music only I hear?
Ah, yes, so it would seem.
