longest night

begins around 3:30 pm
this fading
that turns to dark
determined relentless

and on come the millions of little lights
to lighten the leaden dim

and we breathe through it again
this darkest of dark nights
dampened by the fog and mist
that stealthed in from west
like a cat’s paw alighting
tentative and timid

driving the highway home
to wait again for morning light

and promised longer days
