Approaching Night, by Louis Faber

Arising into night
the departing sun

tangos away with its cloud,
memories soon forgotten.

Other dancers take the stage,
now a romance, now

a war dance, feathers raised
in prayer to unseen gods.

Night will soon bring
its curtain across this stage,
the avian casts’ final bows taken
the theater will darken, awaiting
another performance,
a new script tomorrow,
but for this solitary moment
of frozen grace, it is we
who write the conversation,
our lines sung by actors who
know only nature’s
unrelenting song.
