It’s been a long day

luci d'inverno

The blue river is grey at morning
and evening. There is twilight
at dawn and dusk. I lie in the dark
wondering if this quiet in me now
is a beginning or an end.

~ Jack Gilbert, “Waking at Night” (The Greensboro Review, Fall 2008)

It’s been a long day

Each evening
comes from a new place.
Maybe this is the other life
we were meant to live.
It leans against you as the wind.
