I don’t arrive

a road going on and on...

evening, memory, mystery, night, photography, poetry, sky, summer, tanka, trees, twilight

the farther away it gets
the more magical it becomes,
those times at night
in the back seat,
my parents taking us someplace....
the mystery of where we all go at the end of the day...

the mystery
of where we all go
at the end of the day…

once again
the narrative
on the news
made no mention
of serenity…

I've lost count of the number of sunsets I've watched...

I’ve lost count
of the number of sunsets
I’ve watched…

the homeless man
asks us
to take him home…

arriving to see the sunset... the moment it  slipped below the horizon

arriving to see
the sunset… the moment
it slipped below the horizon
