Gill Nicholson writes plays, stories and poems and promotes poetry around Ulverston (Poem-and-a-Pint), her home since 1964. Poems have appeared in Orbis, iota and Envoi. Her first collection Dark Glass is under consideration with a publisher. (Gill’s web-link below).
Tusin is the dusk
of an April’s lengthening day,
when woods glow blue
and hope probes shadows.
Dosan is dusk in June
musky with honeysuckle,
when moths circle the flames
of our convivial candles.
Dusmen, October’s dusk,
when ripeness leads to rot
among crisp leaves
and skeletons are clothed in mist.
Fuscus, December dusk,
when there is no twilight
and day’s rain
becomes night’s rain.
But fear of the dusk,
that darker part of twilight
when every day is the same day
again and again and again?
It has no name.
