Dusk

as I watch the sun 
fall to the edge
of nothingness 
I look to the
nights shadows 
street lights dim
and flickering 
the corridor
I would never
walk down 
I pledged to myself 
to leave would
be to stay 
as she fell deeper
into her dusk 
the raw smell
of decay and
sewage musk 
to hold on
would mean 
survival to her 
bright exposing day
