Near Sundown

 


The last glow of evening

marks high summer over,
though we will have more heat,
and the dry wind isn't done blowing
through the trees and grasses,
but the loop of temperature
is entering its long ellipse again  -
as soon as early evening,
open windows will cool the house

We feel the changes,
we feel the overarching calm,
and though there's so much we've yet to master,
in yet another mode (for they are infinite)
hope will find its way to rise.
