A CREPUSCULAR SCENE
(After a photograph by Al Dimalanta)
Watch the sun setting,
an overripe orange of light
sinking into the darkness
of the sea. Watch the ship
sailing to distant shores,
destinations and destinies
you can only dream of.
Watch the seconds slip by
like the wind whipping
your face. Watch and weep
for these transitive things
inevitably disappearing
before your bloodshot eyes.
