At dusk, she knows this place as beautiful.
Trees begin to speak as silhouettes,
a dark weaving across the sky’s loom.
The sun slinks, wolf-like, away from her eyes.
The house smells of the day’s work,
a comfort of cinnamon and yeast.
She wonders about decisions, here on the front step,
looking at the play of shapes that branches make
as they lose light.
In daylight, she is so sure of herself.
Her plans spark like rays of sun
flickering through spaces between trees.
Images flash as a new home, a wedding band, a cub.
But now
she wraps her hooded cloak
tighter against the chill.
Even red disappears as the sun
sets.
