sunset

A glazed fire falls to earth.

 

A blaze so grand it will destroy your only exterior world.

A spread of rubies is covering the horizon,

so close you could fly to it

so far you can only fly to it.

 

This fire is our only day

he climbs high for his eternity

and falls

only for a minute

 

To have a fresh faced man take its place

for he spends brief moments in glory

and the rest in the ground.
