At Sunset
inside with my friend
she takes orders at other tables
before coming back to me
outside silhouettes burnt
against orange skies
neon lights in windowpanes
when the day fades
a friendship of years
passing conversations
the day contained in sentences
she stands near
moments of silence
near the front door
I wait for words emblazoned
setting fire to our world
