summer night
night settles like a cooling ember—-
the lingering heat & humidity
hosting fireflies & the chips
of crickets
the sky is still blue,
but in moments, it’ll be dark
& the porch lights will come on,
ushering those who linger indoors
One thought on "summer night"

So lovely and evocative, familiar and beautiful. Very nicely done.
