Book three of impromptu trilogy.

  The Evening Light Remembered with Uncertain Anticipation


I wish to be admired by others, and not left
to carry their refuse to a nocturnal site.
Do believe:  it is my hope to not be seen
as one more thing hiding out there

in the herbaceous forage.  The rain can, and does,
renew some aspects of this life for those of us
who enjoin reform.  Sharing coffee by a river,
or on an interstate—gazing from a warm room

through broad windows I see us standing out there
among the restless and the all-too-lesser in scope.
Time, it appears, is ubiquitous or unkind—and then
even that grows superfluous and memorial in aspect:

I watch you disrobe and roll onto your side
of the bed.  Your breasts swell with each breath
      as you seem at ease with the moment, sleepy.
