Half-light

Another night rolls out of the cloud

the sky already dark and no setting sun
to light the pigeons to roost.

Mars hangs low on the embattled horizon
a beacon distant as the otherworld
where old stories and your half-truths live.

I used to do lots of things I didn't much enjoy. Now I am officially a writer. It's what I always wanted to be.
