First things first

We're back -- after a brief hiatus and the acquisition (for Andrew) of a new camera. Some sunset photos prompt a discussion of last things: what does the "dying of the light" signify? Images and thoughts abound, at blog.amynelsonhahn.info

Last light

There is a formality
and a crispness
in the last light of the day --
as it pulls its parting hand
from yours, it never looks back
for an importune word
or an unfortunate doubt;
it merely leaves you spun
in utter silence, jaw stuck
among the fleeting orbs of radiance.
At last it pulls away
dropping shade by shade
till only one frail glimmer runs
the course of the quickness,
and finally all is night.
