Book three of impromptu trilogy.

  The Evening Light Dismissing the Workman's Compiler


Deftly and without fanfare, Daddy compiles his evening code
into a binary advance exempt from their expectations

of what assembles into the associate data of his life.
His girls walk down to the water's quiet edge, bare-footed,

and are splayed by the focusless light from a western front
roosting like a deadened tide on the rookery.  Daddy exits

which then caused some men caught in pre-coastal situations
to fend through the smoke of brush piles left unattended

as their sullen looks fell like an aggressive virus on his
code:  and still we failed to sense what was crucial

as his bar closed and he eddied into the starry night—
smaller in scope, resident but still plaintive, waking
      the clearly restless.
