Pacific Dusk
DUSK APPROACHES
while looking westward over the Pacific
while seeing the sun fade below the horizon
while awaiting the flash of phosphorescene
while imagining death might come during sleep
while realizing morning could have new meaning
while sensing the inevitable move closer
while family headstones make room for me
while remembering quicksand in cowboy movies
while everything sinks and becomes smaller
I marvel at my swelling passion to be me
---Jay Matson
Jay Matson's new collection of poems is As I Recall.
