art of nightfall

by Karyn Huntting Peters



dark veil, keeper of secret thoughts, reaches
across day’s doomed end, takes more of
the artist’s abandoned palette captive as its fingers
near the horizon off the western sands.

what patterns will emerge in the night sky
as the veil enfolds all these watercolors, wrapping
them tighter and tighter, finally stowing them
in a secret place beneath the boundless sea?
