The Onslaught of Night

I look to the sky
through a dirty window pane.
The sun sets again.

Really like the way you said "onslaught" instead of "onset" of night, Robert. It adds to the dreariness of the vision you paint. Compelling entry for the contest and hope to see your poem in the winners' circle. Love, Carolyn
