Twilight Valentine

I went out to see the sunset
I was the only one called
layered orange light
behind trees and houses
throbbed at the end of the street
a stillness and nothing moving
and when I turned
satisfied the day was over
along the roof edge
I saw the full moon riding
toward me still chasing
the last yellow remnants
of sunlight still clutching
the last of its gold
