november light

At sunset,
there is an edge to the air this evening.
A cool breeze reminding me of the ocean.
In the desert?
Clouds at the horizon, dark Cerulean blue, violet, pale crimson....
yet my eye is drawn to the sky above them.
A strip of blue washed over with a translucent green.
(That color I have no name for.)
It glows just above the clouds, fleeting.

A small snake crosses in front of me.
Pale sinuous color of sand
No, I am too big for your dinner small one.
Cross quickly.

Going home,
one last look.
The sun, passed below,
sends out streams of light
pouring up into the sky.
Glorious.
