dusk's descent
they say night falls–
but it doesn’t, really.
for night rises,
enveloping first the dales
then blooming over the bone-white sierras,
whispering up the trunks of the trees,
as darkness devours the Earth
and rises up
to unite with the greater arc of blackness
of the star-spread vault of heaven above

It looks like a scene from Star Wars. At any moment there could be fighter ships flying across that sky. Or maybe a dark shape. The death star coming into view. I hope those fighter planes are still around.... :)
