Parading

we kick stones along the lane

into the sunset’s afterglow,
into the sunset’s afterglow,
into the sunset’s afterglow,
happy to discover that tonight
happy to discover that tonight
will not, after all, be the longest
will not, after all, be the longest
night ever since the world began
night ever since the world began
(four and a half billion years ago)— / what a relief!
(four and a half billion years ago)— / what a relief!
