After Hours

A poem about evening.

By Natalie via Pexels

Dusk spills like frost
Handprinted and cloud-tossed
A moonless eclipse
Sunspots rendered in monochrome

A glass-blown dome
Graphite illusions roam
Flitting past rooftops
Yet awake in the afterglow

For who should know
What the twilight might sow
Every patchwork tune
Strung like a parody of rhyme

The trickster’s time
Makes the average sublime
All for the splendour
And the most bewitching of shows
