ON 4PM LIGHT

Morning reveals. Evening obscures.
It stretches. Warms. Moving across surfaces never intended to become important.

The effect is temporary. Perhaps this is its appeal.
Nothing has moved.
Everything has changed.

Orientation negotiates the terms.
Walls begin keeping time.
Catching exactly what the window gives away.

Ordinary objects acquire consequence.
Evidence remains.

Each hour shares a different story.
Preference notices.
Repetition introduces variation.

Consistency is not sameness.
Familiarity develops in intervals.

Recurrence alters the original.
Absence sharpens recall.

What disappears is expected to return.
Anticipation becomes part of the experience.
Where inhabits when.
