Light leaks from the evening

magnolia leaves colorTender magnolia blossoms reach up like young hands to hold, and light takes longer to leak away each night. The farmyard has more hours to fill the neighborhood with its squawks and whinnies and calls. Pale yellow ducks chase away a mallard. A june bug, newly wakened, bounces off the glass. The children next door laugh and cry and laugh again in a long evening minute.
