Remember me as a time of the day–
see me as twilight
exploding in the sky.
I rest between

a spark.

See me as twilight
thundering in the sky.
Purple passion,
an aperitif to night,
absinthe

See me as twilight–
remember

I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    I love your image of twilight – the pause between light and dark. Good image of twilight
    as the aperitif to night.
