Theater of Dusk

for r.n.

wrapped in down blankets on that huge covered porch, rain pouring down the chains and booming on the metal roof...can it be that our eyes were so open that dusk lasted until 3am? or was it the moon behind the rain clouds? or did dusk last all night hanging on forever, never swallowed up by darkness...how completely precious to stop time that way and how lucky to have that sheer happiness, all at the same time...
