quietly

The evening pales down to a gloaming dusk. All of the cars pass by with humming voices thrown into the air; we are not listening. We are moving slowly like the night time bugs, watching the purple appearing from the sunny afternoon, hazing over the details of the day, giving precious moments over to the lovely dream hour. We chain our bikes and do not see the summer fading. We are eternally riding.
