As The Curtains Come Down

Lamenting Sun pulls down the curtains 

There is solace to be found in this new found darkness

Preferable silence over the discomforting fables

Foibles of the day are enough to unsettle the rhythm

Spasms! The day contorts due to uncomfortable questions

Propositions of scandalous desires

Let it all settle down; they will sink deeper and taint

Still, this stillness will rescue the advance of such time

For a while, before dawn is seized by unscrupulousness
