June 22: Sunset

summer solstice

silhouettes of gulls 

fly into the sunset

December 31: Last day

Cleaning the house.

The year’s last sunlight

out the back door.

November 30: That sky again

Turn off the radio.
On the mountain's rosy face
glow of sunset.

November 29: That sky

Hazy gibbous moon
holding itself aloof
from the lurid sunset.

June 20: Solstice Eve

Three chimney swifts

also ecstatic

over tonight's sunset.

Outside Family Planning
a sky-filling sunset
stops me in my tracks.

November 17: Gardens Aglow!

After sunset's flare,

holding court above the lights--

supernal Venus.

bronze of roadside oaks

crows the last birds flying

October 31: Samhain

a day for haunting--

leaves skitter before my car

like small animals

 

a day for haunting--

sun's dying light

turns the mountain blood red

Hard to keep eyes on the road

with such a sunset

Salt marsh at sunset--

all calm except scudding clouds,

parked car's thumping bass.

January 30: After the opera

Saw my first opera this afternoon, a "Live at the Met" presentation of Puccini's "Turandot," which was quite a dramatic spectacle set in an imaginary Chinese court. Not to be outdone, the sunset tonight was also spectacular.

After "Turandot"
drama of hot pink sunset.
I stop, watch it fade.

December 8: Consolation

Sunset before 4,

glorious hot pink and gold--

light another candle.

October 25: Closing time at the library

Late sun, then clouds--

sky a slowly closing book

I've just started to read.

October 5: Exhale

Sunset behind Hannaford--

exhalation of light

makes me say "aaah."

September 25: Sunset celebration

cannon fired at sunset

scares up all the harbor gulls

their wings glowing
