This Tapering Hue

 
there is the deepening blue
that has caught me off guard
there is this tapering hue
 
lost sun dives beneath the waves
setting my horizon aflame
while the apex moves toward black
and soon sky will wink at me
knowingly
like thousand-eyed Argus
 
wry dark distant velvet vault
sees every secret ever kept
holds every failure every fault
and every chasm ever lept
 
each life a brush immersed in ink
paints new night an obsidian stain
till sun and light spills once again
clean canvas for my hand I think
