Jason Boitnott
At Home at Dusk
Sunlight took the long road home tonight,
slow moving in its assured descent. It departed
just as a pair of dust-dampered tail lights trailed down
our gravel road and disappeared in the distance.
But it wasn't a distant darkness that ascended on me
but instead that awe that dawns nigh to all things setting.
