Going home

Please night
autumn has begun
I am sore and weary
why are you hesitating
fall
dark and thick and heavy
please

Hide me
from eyes that can’t see
indifferent stares
this dirty sorry place
people
moving through protectively
cover me

Release me
from appearing to be anyone
into my insignificance
blessed twilight oblivion
I remember
where the sky is seduced by the land
let me go

Please darkness
hide the absence
fill me with dreams
of views and saints
there
take me into her presence
please
