What the Sunset Said

*Something happened as the light was dying

it wasn’t just post-coital exhalation

where the once-possessed body is used up

and all that remains is bodiless trance*

*Rather, it seemed they were mirroring

a preternatural stillness,

two spiritual sentinels

transfixed and somehow Other*

*Science calls it “twilight calibrated magnetic compass”

yet it appeared beyond mere direction-finding

more a kind of existential orientation

consolidating all they knew, and listening*

*with their entire being, participating

silently, in a universal hymn

until they were pulled, as out of a viscous substance,

by the hungry cry of their nearby young*

*to become two feral pigeons, again

with this-world considerations

parenting, foraging, keeping alive

and, dazed, they consented to their stations.*
