refers to the moments after sunset
when the sky darkens and vision becomes unclear
making it difficult to distinguish between dogs & wolves
sundown blues & rain
plum island in the rearview
Beachmist air for the ride home
reddening our eyes & epoxying our skin
with the windows rolled up
I can hear your emphatics
more easily, but
with the sun finally down
its harder to follow your lips
as you share them

So many women,
Lost to time.
Mileva Maric,
Helene Kaufler-Savic,
Chien-Shiung Wu.
In a world of men,
Their lights in shadow,
We’ve left their memory to fade away.
The pedestal they deserve
We gave away.
Away to men who were so very wrong,
To men who took the freedom of others,
To men with brains, but no heart or humanity.
Aristotle,
Thomas Jefferson,
Albert Einstein.
These men of history, and many more,
With their large shadows
Bury the names of women who were their equals.
Names that time and history have erased.
Margaret Sanger,
Yuri Kochiyama,
Rosalind Franklin.
These women with minds as brilliant as those of they men with which they were forced to compete with,
These names which few know, but changed the course of history.
In remembrance of them,
A moment,
To the women that were lost.
