twilight invades

the cool silence

with long shadows

in birdsong

I want to go

far away to where

sunlight glows amber on the sea

where children

flash their teeth at sunset

devouring the evening

with laughter.

the sky is so far

and my heart is strung over

so many skies.

Who can offer solace?

or even a pause in the rush

of sensations

tumbling my chest

against an unknown shore
