the sky undressed before me
September 9th, 2005
the sky undressed before me
and breathless i stood still
‘took off its daylight clothes
over crimson, purple, teal
the last of the crepusculars
peeped through cloud wisps
ball of fire dipping low
waist-down the horizon kissed
the sky unveiled the darkness
embraced east until west
i, the star, witnessed everything and more
but from here i shall keep the rest
