Sunset
by Michael R. Burch
for my grandfather, George Edwin Hurt Sr., on the day he departed this life
Between the prophecies of morning
and twilight’s revelations of wonder,
the sky is ripped asunder.
The moon lurks in the clouds,
......
blue jay way up high
a peacock on the river
forget-me-not dusk
sea holly shimmer
the blue dandelion days
sapphires in starlight
wet starfish creeping
starling in hydrangeas
......
Falling
,
Flowing
,
Flickering,
The warmth; upon the walls
spirits of twilight se esconden como niños
......
hyacinth macaws
perched in their black cherry tree
periwinkle skies
the moon's fully blue
shining on hydrangeas
squawking in the air
beginning of dreams
the end of the golden road
......
shadows approaching
stars are shining, mercy me
sparkling moonlit lake
a mass surrender
as pink lilies bloom lately
and I can see mars
once again I am
falling in love with the night
......
