Before the Eventide

I’ve reached the eventide, so humbly
And strange. Where again I strip to bare
The enshroud to the ashamed.

What have I to hide beneath
This skin? Simple misdemeanors,
Which are feathers to a sin.

I carry no weight and close lids
To the night. For as the sun sets,
I awake to the light.
