this Eve

this Eve

Holds the electric

Of holiday times

Expectations rise

Shadows subside..

Present moments

Put aside time..

A Starbucks trio

Jovial spirits serve..

Long grocery lines

Are singular meetings..

A basket exchange

In windy parking

Named as win-win..

Bright evening tensions

On those differing

Levels and forms..

This darkened time

Awaiting a morn..

But for now

Hold the tension

And the wonder

Of this Eve..
With her beauty

Her constraining

Joy...
