five p.m.

five
pm

it is dark
here and now
this time of year

we see
the death
and dying
easy
but still go home
safely

november should not be this warm
we don't really
get weather here

but become wimps enough
to still get cold
and in that bit have some sense

that this may not be alright

it is dark
and that always makes it
fell late

coming off summer still
like a good binge

my body
and unspoken
acclamations
all mixed up

bracing for
the cleansing, sobering, and restoring
rains and cold

but in my veins
I'm still
drawn in the warmer past

and so at five pm
I stand
say good bye
to the sun
feel a breeze
warm
blow off the land
going out to the ocean
a piece in the mix
all sorting itself out
