This evening, I sat by an open window
and read till the light was gone and the book
was no more than a part of the darkness.
I could easily have switched on a lamp,
but I wanted to ride this day down into night,
to sit alone and smooth the unreadable page
with the pale gray ghost of my hand.
I just turned 21. I've come a long way but still have so far to go!
i find myself doing this oft. staring inside on a comfortable couch, moving outside for more light, and then the porch lights come on.
ReplyDeleteSounds nice! Maybe I should invest in some automatic porch lights.
