How Thin the Veil

How Thin the Veil
•
as I lie
alone
here in the gathering dusk
twilight calling at the window
collecting the colors of this day
the world still and quiet
I wonder

how thin the veil
between here and gone

and what will be the final breath
the beckoning breeze
the courier gust
to part that curtain

to lift
and carry me ← → through

to where
to what
I do not know

only that the day
the hour
the moment
draws ever closer

as I lie
alone
here in the gathering dusk
