the orbit
the earth makes
by which we see
and rest
and live…

 

 

The sunset sky had some heat and humidity in it but this evening was very pleasant. I rode my bike over to see the sunset from Libe Slope... 9-02-15

ambivalence
I believe is what
I’ve come to sitting here
watching wave after wave
land itself
sunset washing back and forth on the beach

sunset
washing back and forth
on the beach

the farther away it gets
the more magical it becomes
those times at night
in the back seat ,
my parents taking us someplace…

a moment before our sun leaves us to another night...

a moment
before our sun leaves us
to another night…

stray light…
