Not Dark Yet







But it's getting there




The edge of night




the year passes palpably
when I go out after dinner
with my coffee in a paper cup
and it's a race with
 the falling darkness


Bear necessities of life
but you can't just
cocoon at home



You got to go out
parading
as Paul's uncle said







After office hours,
down to the sea
in stained glass ships



The Port
not heavily lit up
as evening subsides







Cold wooly clouds
over Alameda
Big changes
in atmospheric conditions
lessens fire danger




Clean air at last
what a blessing







The will to live
revives itself




The thrill of the elements








This change of temperature
reinvigorates us zombies
after a weird six weeks
of warmer than usual
followed by fire
 






Tonight I feel as if
harmony has been restored,
now to scurry home
and warm up a bit
