A sunset in peach above a gray, bumpy horizon, with water in the mid ground and a stream snaking through a marsh in the foreground.

Questions

Hilary Baldwin, “Sundown II”

Start with the foreground:

salt marsh or fresh?

inlet? Tidal creek?


Is the central, silvery surface

bay? Lake? River?

Estuary?


Beyond, is that the opposite shore?

A line of clouds rising

from the horizon

bearing rain?


Neither day nor night,

twilight lives

with uncertainty.

Sometimes that is all

any of us can do.
