A Forest at Nightfall

May 5, 2025
By Anonymous

red dusk shines between dark trees

whose branches twitch and shudder in a soft breeze

fallen leaves that rest in the quiet understory

will never again feel the sun’s glory

crawling vines and creeping weeds suffocate all sound with ease


darkness deepens in the sight

of a quickly descending night

eyes peer from hollowed places

despite concealing gloom, unwilling to show their faces

all shapes take on new meaning in the dwindling halflight
