Afterglow

Frenetic lines dance just on the cusp

Sunset swallowed up by encroaching dark

As Nyx performed her skin-care routine

Stars emerging as the sequins of her dress

The Goddess of Night taking the stage

Ready to perform her duties once more

Yet just above the horizon

A faint glimmer of light squirms before

Nyx lulls the last vestiges of dusk to rest
