NIGHTFALL

When darkness falls
and day’s dimension
shrinks and crawls away
.
When shadows lick the road
and climb the hill
when crowds disperse
and all is still
.
He comes unto himself
becomes himself again
a man, alone
with sense imbued
and then it is not Night
he fears but solitude
.

oted in the marhins: what fragile creatures we are.
