sun flares in great Amen
as to netherworld she goes
like meteor come to earth
leaving all a flaming rose
sunset sky afterglow
puce and vermillion red
solar consolation gifts
signals it is time for bed
Crown Royal purple night
descends on lake back dune
spring peepers greeting
grey felt caterpillar cocoon
on mouse pillow willow
from snake eyelash depends
defying laws of gravity
as in mid-air it suspends
in forest fire swamp
gold embroidered log
with glitter snails trail
glimmers in gemstone fog
molasses deep groans
from velvet butter bells
bidding us good rest
as the Last Post knells
day neatly folds herself
in envelope of night
never to be seen again
new one dawns with light
So I shall dedicate
this poem to today
her wholly gestalt self
thank you for your brief stay
