A Late Afternoon's Landing

The Sun,

Winter’s welcome

stranger,

embraces even as

we lean to dusk,

offering an

amber kiss.

We slip

quickly from

Heaven's clasp,

descending through

pink nimbus

strewn towards the

far horizon.

Over

fallow field,

flooded fen,

above jigsaw

mudflats, shore,

ditch, hedgerow,

woodland, park.

As light

turns to dark,

rain-streaked

windows are

portals on

occasional ruinings

in brick and steel.

And when

chatter dulls as

pressure builds,

a hundred tales

prepare for telling -

that randomness

of runway stories.
