over the mountains,
the sun is setting
like a bad secret.
Secret Sunset [Haiku]
1
over the mountains,
the sun is setting
like a bad secret.
the sky 's afire:
a day's death throes;
bugs mourn loudly.
a shaft of sunlight
sneaks past a blocking cloud:
summer sunset.
at dusk, the long-still Evening Brown flutters off.
dusk has come. bats head out to hunt. black against dark sky.
summer dusk: our world is flat & black, while sky is textured.
boats rock in the bay, their languid motion watched 'til darkness swallows.
