Pink Light At Twilight ( Rondeau)

 


 At twilight comes this vulgar glow,

Its crass, reductive, for we know

Our children mean much more than this.

Displays of light are quite amiss,

Yet they reveal more than they show

We’ve sunk too deep, been brought too low,

As blood is shed its endless flow,

Is not worth more than so much piss

At twilight.

The nation’s days are numbered, so

We’re dealt each day another blow

 We can’t pretend our lives were bliss

Before we sank in the abyss

And can’t escape, nowhere to go,

At twilight.
