“Evening Sun” by Lucinda Parker
I can wait for the moon
a lifetime in coming
the end of this
long day of living
the lowering sun
remains generous
wealthy with moments
allowing me yet
its good leave to
acquire the character
I would admire
still time to become
that much better man
who would now and then
animate turns
of my conscience
that man of the mist
content in his dreams
sound and safe
through the imminent
infinite night
