The Evening Light Unfolding as a November Sunset
Clustered headlights, the throbbing brakelights we associate with the evening commute—silhouettes of pylons; silhouettes of urban palms; restricted movement and duress. The land blackened by shadow. The sky orange if not blue. Small bright lights coming on in the downtown towers—pattern lights or a stunning, facial reflection. The evening begins as a surrealist notion in the alluring suburbs (where grassy medians protect ornamental swans). The sun somewhere behind the diminished coast range framed obliquely by a hefty overpass, the interstate signing, bronchial autumn trees—their diffuse leafless erections. back | ToC | next » 4:
