squinting into the wind scanning the horizon wanting to free a chunk from the sunset and keep it in my pocket somehow to soothe the knot in my stomach nervous twists always present and growing tripping and bouncing in my hollowed out torso where he ran me through if i could just rub the angelic halo around the golden sunset maybe i wouldn't cry for you, for me...for us if for one moment, one blink, one pump i could hold the sacred in my small hands cupping it to my ear as to hear the untold volumes then hold it to my mouth first to sing to it, soft and raspy songs of truth then as to taste it, savour it....light and sweetness linger on my lips then to whisper my own chapters into the light to see it cling to them, inhale them and someday, someone else will hold the sunset in their palms to taste it and in doing so they will taste me. |

powerfully vivid and filled with emotion really enjoyed the read, what a wonderful idea, a chunk of the sky...makes me think of one of my favorite songs of the 50's..."Catch a Falling Star." |
