A Sunset of the City
by Gwendolyn Brooks

Already I am no longer looked at with lechery or love.

My daughters and sons have put me away with marbles and dolls,

Are gone from the house.

My husband and lovers are pleasant or somewhat polite

And night is night.

It is a real chill out,

The genuine thing.

I am not deceived, I do not think it is still summer

Because sun stays and birds continue to sing.

A caesura is a pause within a line of poetry; the comma separates the two clauses and creates that internal pause.
