drew died on a tuesday
as evening fell
i didn't know what to feel
i wanted to cry
but struggled to find tears
i was numbed by expectation
dread and emptied hope
clouded by the ambivalence
of not knowing
whether to feel relief
for his release
from pain and despair
or to grieve for mine
my brother died at twilight
just before darkness set in

twilight is a time
of intermingling light
and dark where beauty
resides however unwelcome
and though the victor
is predestined by the diurnal
it is an internecine drama
beyond the reach
of shakespeare's pen
or fellini's lens
it is a time
that opens perception
inviting us to see
not in spite of the darkness
but because of it
