swimming at sunset

 At first i have tried

to push the sunset away with my arms

and hang on to the daylight

even if all i could catch was its glimmer

in a mirror of water.

i watched as the mist was lifting 

the light from the flat level

I swam at, towards night.

But when i thought it was time to give up

the nEighbors switched on their light

and light was coming at me

from all directions, making connections

to a future that insisted

on being one way or another 

warm and still bright,
