artists search for light
and find it near dusk when hot
pavement cools and robins
begin their night song.
certain men find it too,
their bodies lounging in open
cars, their radios playing
cool saxophones and musk,
their open collars relaxed, their
eyes searching for darkness
under the flowing trees.
women lingering on porches
feel the breeze, the touch
of evening’s song; they fan
themselves languidly, their
eyes shadowed, their mood
curious and calm, the music
their invitation to dance.
