Twilight
The space between husky and wolf, between longing for and shouldn’t have. No-man’s-land
between lovers’ bodies and the thickening dark.
Short corridor of last chances, final flickerings
before moths kamikaze toward cracked street lights and the dull sun,
sucker punched by night, goes down.
