the sinners on their porches in the late afternoon
watch the fireflies appearing in the long distant gloom
they slowly grow quiet in the dark tidal heat
their chairs are as old and as broken
as the trees towering over the road
they reach for each other
over peeling paint and forgotten lawns
in their eyes there's a darkness
and in their bony hands there's always a pause
because they know the middle
because they know all along
