Daylight Saving

Summer rain
Caught the eye
Of a passing stranger
At 5:25 pm
Angles to the
Ascecnding municipal skies.

At a dark-made-light
Staircase:
Two minds elapsed
Looking backwards
On a shared past of
Phosphorescent
Twilight youth encounters.

Our man up-high
Took a deep breath
And welcomed in the
Warm becoming day.

An early evening light
Caught his mind
As it stretched
Across the months
To come.

Photographically images
Fell in rain
And blue flaking leaves
Of spring
Set expecting.

He shook the future
From his mind
And whispered back
'come again: homeward friend.'
