Sundown

Tonight, I watched the sun bleed
down through the trees: burnt orange,

yellow, long amber horizon cracked
and splintered with silhouettes

of trees. Winter is passed, and those
silhouettes swell day by day, cropping

out in tiny bursts of leaf-shape shadows.
Inch by inch, the day melts dark.
