Settled

Having traveled all over town in the hot and sweaty summer afternoon
The wind has settled.
The dust has settled.


Arriving one by one at the parking lot
The cars have settled


Crawling up under the blanket of night lights
The city has settled


Carrying the last load to a far away city
The freight train has left


Having wallowed in very many thoughts about you all day
My mind has settled
My breath has settled
My heart has settled


Marking the end and the beginning
