Day 25. Describe a magical sunrise or sunset you have witnessed. How did it make you feel?

Fair Eyed Sunset

A boy
and a girl. Flushed by
heat.

It’s that age of delightment,
thoughts their bodies unhouse.

They are waiting
for the #100 bus into town.
No particular destination in mind.

Just west.
Just beyond the sunset’s backlights.

It’s blazing
like a city on fire.
She lifts her lamp-bright eyes to his.

He’d willingly steal the sky for her,
this fair-eyed girl.
