Sunset
He said,
Explain it in your own words
Make sure when you explain it
It is so vivid that I can taste it
Steal the words
Give them to nature
Then hand them back to me
This morning it was a pale day
Describe this evening to me
Well I started,
With the clouds that coated the sky
They lit the sun on fire during its descent
The clouds seemed to eat the rays
And then they shone out from their stomachs

Did you taste it on your tongue?
It’s burning from you
Now go to sleep, I’ll read
