Saved by the Sunset

I look upstream
To soak up the light
Beams dying with the sun,
A final warm caress lingers.

I watch shadows
Lengthen into the distance,
Float down the river -
Gone out of my fading sight.

This bridge is my roof
Against the rain of stars,
Against the flashing neon
Red/Orange of digital moons.

Night chills me into stillness;
I hibernate until sunrise.
For daylight beckons my teeth
To feast on daydreams and fear.
