Twilight

That blurry haze of
Sunstricken blue and
Inky purple
Rendezvous deep in
The ether for just a
Wink of time
Scintillation echoing
From dull lightbulbs of
The night obscured
By inconspicuous
Clouds where
Optomistic day meets
The clever dark night
In the haze of the faded
Indecipherable in between
Neither here nor
There when the welkin
Can't quite figure itself
Out and can only wait
Trusting that that glorious
Coherent lucidity will
Escape the in between and
Ride forth upon the
Vivid night and day
