Photograph taken at days end atop Gudibande Fort Hill in Karnataka, India.
The light of day's end
   brings out the sandy
       grit of the arid
           landscape.

The light of day's end
   matches & compounds
        the color of the 
           desiccated vegetation. 

The light of day's end
    turns the world 
        into someplace new --
    somewhere I've never
        been before.

My body knows this is 
    nothing like Mars;
        my mind does not.

 glowing like hot coals;
  cools to darkness.
