Cedars and the westward sun.

The darkening sky.

A man

Watches beside the fallen

The evening multitudes of

Crowd in upon us all.

For when the light fails they

Nocturnal sabotage

The outcast and the loose of tongue,

The lax in walk, the murderers:

Our twilight universal curse.

Children are faultless in the wood,

Untouched.

If they are later

Scandal and index to their time,

It is that twilight brings for

The faculty of crime.

Only the idiot and the

Stand by, while who were young

Wage insolent and guilty

By night within that ancient house,

Immense, black, damned, anonymous.
