Monday, February 21st - "Why I Insist on Staring at Sunsets"


The
point,
contrary
to popular
opinion, is not
to find beauty in
the most mundane

visions,
or to look
at the way my
eyes shine brightly
in the wan half-light,
or to put myself in the
faintly degrading position

of
asking
how I look
when most of
my body is obscured
by the decaying lights,
but rather to stand alone

on
a small
precipice
and see what
the world might
look like if I were
to set the landscape aflame.
