Early Evening – Lynette G. Esposito

Sun contemplates the language
of landscape at twilight
as a thread of light
encircles the horizon.
  
The calm orb slides down its
nightly path
pulls the silken imaginary curtain                                         
over imaginary time
while fox babies feast
beside their sleeping mother.
