Dusk

Another yellow pink sunset
Along the Chesapeake Bay,
The sky darkens stars blink
Maryland has such gentleness.
Texas was different more
Vibrant less calm more frontier.
In Texas you are pretty
Much on your own.
What will life be like in
California where the
Sun skinny dips
Each dusk
Into the
Blue
Pacific.
My best friend
And partner waits
For me there and I am
Sure I will become friends
With her family and friends,
She is so much on my
Mind I tingle with
Anticipation at
Holding her
Close
Never to
Be alone again
Though I am careful
To hang on to what she
Calls a bit of
Protective
Pessimism, so
On my Southwest
Flight I will not
Sit by the
Window.
