What evens at evening?
A dog's barking takes bitesout of quiet. In their buildings,
people cook, drink, take medicine,
talk, give up, rage, look at screens.
Outside, birds have returned
to nests and perches, warming
each other, silencing caw, shriek,
whistle, and song. I decide to use
all this information as evidence
of local equilibrium at dusk,
something that's fine by me.
I'm more weary than optimistic.
