Three Personas of Twilight
1
Twilight, the seeker
sounds its bell
in soft, dark-prism’d
carousels.
2
Twilight,
like some skulking owl,
preens its feathers
in lustful anticipation
of its sultry descent.
3
Lone survivor
of a perished kind
and child
of the last Great Wizard,
old Twilight stoops
to share with us
the tattered remains
of his ancient magic
for an hour each day.
