Twilight sinks
deeper into the passionflower;
the evening pauses,
a long pause,
longer than the day would take
to turn around.
Ephemeral,
a beautiful sound
for a word that sends a warning down the road.
Ephemeral, the passionflower reads
the reverberation of a chill
running down the spine,
and the twilight sinks
deeper yet
into the quivering passionflower
