Evening Song

taste
            the wine of evening
A bittersweet wine
           since it has the
  flavor of mortality
We dreamed last 
night
    that for a brief autumn 
moment
            it seemed as if the 
                   chains were broken
Yes, we have moved into 
                         the shadows
Yet we still remember
   Better, warmer days
We still remember 
                              the dance of 
   summer
Perhaps the winter will 
                  conquer us
                           icy winds 
                    defeat our hopes
    But caught in between 
    we still emit    
     a phosphorescent  glow
lighting up the city
                  which we call home

wE STILL
