sunset

The bite down
Of noonday sun
Flame red bursts
In dragonfly
Seconds
. Ask me
. I wait
This pool of anticipation
Boils the held crater
Cracked
All
The
Way
Down the side
Curves
The surface
Like skin
Spread thin
Ankle to sky
Ask
Before the moonlight
Licks the horizon dawn
And night
Crushes us
Both
