When Midnight Falls

When midnight falls and
the night porch lures me
out to the Hatteras bench,
the sihouetted cottages
along the beach road
are sometimes dimly lit,
when their inhabitants
refuse to turn another
summer day loose;
I watch over them as
though my protective gaze
would hold back Neptune.

August 11, 1984
