Twilight
twilight grey and dim
it's not my favorite time
time of life's season
twilight for child's play
nice out cool can barely see
fireflies light their way 
twilight for the pets
please may we be fed our due
then we watch you feast
workers love twilight
clean their tools wash their faces
null vicious cycle
mothers take deep breath
cook feed bathe kids turn their beds
then night is for self
- - - - - - - - - -
who dies in twilight
that question asked of Google
"is" is not defined
King David was old
could not keep warm even when
put covers o'er him
young virgin to attend him
lie beside him keep him warm
(more in 1 Kings 1:1-4)

(
more in 1 Kings 1:1-4)
1 When King David was old and well advanced in years, he could not keep warm even when they put covers over him. 2 So his servants said to him, "Let us look for a young virgin to attend the king and take care of him. She can lie beside him so that our lord the king may keep warm."
3 Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl and found Abishag, a Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 4 The girl was very beautiful; she took care of the king and waited on him, but the king had no intimate relations with her.
Jeremiah who wrote this may have had a censoring wife (Jim's reasoning). She said this was not good to write, people would think wrongly of David. So he added the half line, "but the king had no intimate relations with her."

Painting is easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do. Edgar Dégas
The same may go for poetry? (whatever, I enjoy painting with the words!).
