Twilight in November

I am a skywatcher.

I love to walk as the sun is setting.

Two bats always flit above me.

I watch the stars begin to come out

and find the moon peeking out from behind

the layers of clouds.

It's almost full-moon time.

I'm getting excited.

I open the shades at night

and use this

as my night light.

And only then

I am not

afraid of the dark.
