The sunset is different everyday
from out my window
tonight
it’s clear medicine
dissolving into water
making everything look hazy
and smooth
The condensed clouds
stretch diagonally
every way
I see fish gills
ash navy
And a misty light
the sun I assume
doesn’t make you squint now
taking pity on your eyes tonight
It’s strange
I see black clouds
maybe the translucent sun
isn’t reaching them?
The sky looks really low from here
if you stand up
crushing in on you
I wonder why you can’t see
space.
It’s only blue.
I’m too scared to be an astronaut
But I really want to see the black sometime.
