TWILIGHT

At times
The harvest moon rises
To kiss the bright fat sun
Into oblivion

She wakes
Now rising up daily
She toils the light away
Awaiting the sunset

To search
For that dusky day-night
She must orbit that moon
Respecting her rough tide

At times
The harvest moon waxes
To pulverize the sun
Into oblivion

With that
As before continuing
To uncover her twilight
For in darkness she finds

In rooms
Where strangers share glances
More than a few dances
And later romances

Twilight
Embraces every room
And the child that first hears
Will soon see the first time

At times
That old harvest moon climbs
To scare the ruddy sun
Into oblivion

In rooms
Seeking continuing
To define her twilight
For in dim light she finds

In all
These empty rooms
Where sunlight cannot sleep
Pale moonlight slowly creeps

Twilight
To fall between heaven
And midnight right around
The place the two embrace
