Viewpoint for the Fading of the Day

Maureen Shaughnessy

Many of these photos of the last light are straight out of my camera - I'm still in the experimental phase and it might last for the rest of my life. I really like this one. This is really truly the color of the air on a Montana summer evening. ..


Sam and I
we amble through
another evening of air the color
of buttermilk, clear enough
to breathe our fill
we inhale the warm summer air
he snuffles short snorts through
his wet black nose and I
breath the buttery beauty
into my eyes
we drink a draft of evening color,
long heaving breaths-full of it
til we have both quenched our thirst
for all
the fading
beauty
in the world
