Turning to Black
Everything turns pale as red disappears for another day.
A moment passes,
Yellows fade to blue,
Deepening blue,
Limned by the yellow and white of man-made light,
Prolonging day, denying night.
Even these lights go out one by one.
The tempo on the street stills and stops.
The last light goes out.
Darkness.
Everything turns pale as red disappears for another day.
A moment passes,
Yellows fade to blue,
Deepening blue,
Limned by the yellow and white of man-made light,
Prolonging day, denying night.
Even these lights go out one by one.
The tempo on the street stills and stops.
The last light goes out.
Darkness.
