Vernalescence

~

yesterday, in the vague 

gloaming of the late afternoon

I noticed daylight had crept 

into the early evening calm, 

nibbling silently on the 

indolent dusk, a clear portent 

to the lengthening of days,

this gentle skirmish, fought

between light and dark 

traversing many days can

never ever be truly won
