Night fall

1 day ago
processions of heavy cloud
dressed in black velvet pace
from behind the curtains of twilight
nostalgic birds sing farewell songs
of freaky notes with nocturnal insects
buoy up exhausted queues
of peasant farmers that file the path
of sundown with fishers in famished
dugout from the endless sea;
in submission to nature's signals,
they herald the nascence of night
in obedience i shield my shear, listen
to cripuscule melodies of happy birds
and the chirping praises of insects
as the radiant smiles of fickle sky
wane, fade at the western horizon;
the sun is hurled behind drapes of dark
sculptured dour night reign over
moribund day, pale as famine!
