A Quiet Dusk

I remember
early morning storms,
thunder rumbles and growls,
young love cataclysms;

smoldering afternoons:
airless panting heat,
middle-aged resignation.

Let us,
you and I,
meet in the cool of evening,
in the peace
of honeysuckle porches.

Let us savor
a quiet dusk.

Lovely poem...

Dusk
It comes so suddenly
right after mauve
someone dumps charcoal into it
and stirs until just a small sun slips
cool
into night
