  The Evening Light Presuming Our Wishes

Much like a verse suggesting an inceptive purpose
some form of courtesy seemed always to accompany us

and this unnerved those who might obstruct our wishes.
We were able to incorporate this into our happy lives;

small waves, slowly paced, broke lullingly along a thinning
beach; I listened to my child sing her part of this ceremony.

Behavior was a specific thing we opted to reaffirm
as exacting and melodic.  It was teriffic

yet when I turned there was something definite
I did not sense, but could suspect:  little, elegant

notions that eddied on the bigger swells offshore
as the afternoon lessened its brilliant light.
