Molasses Night

The promise
of a molasses night.
Sticky,
sweet flow,
inching forward.
Thick fingers
reaching,
cautiously enfolding,
daylight, within
it's grip.
The slow rise,
long awaited,
at last welcomed.
Each moment,
savored.
As the flavor
of darkness,
lies full
on my tongue.
Sugared time,
heady sustenance,
swallowed
greedily,
by a rushing dawn.
