The embers
Of a day’s fine farewell
Freely rage
All through, the stillborn dusk

A fiery farewell
To unease
The arcing peril
I reap
From the tussling dawn

I part ways, enrobed
In bittersweet dreams
Faithfully inbound
To a simmering rest

A slumber marooned
To an isle of far-ago ruin
Engulfed
In a high noon’s glow
