“The way the sun was going down”

The way the sun was going down

Where it was going down

In the sea, the west was

Going down with it, leaving

No west for tomorrow’s sun

To go down in.

May be tomorrow it’ll set in some other direction.

In that case, let it.

Where it rises in the sea

The sun is like a sea bird

Trying to rise,

But with the oil on the surface

Sticking to its feathers,

It cannot.

To watch the sunrise that is not a sunrise

There are no tourists

Or tourist souls.

After a whole day of this sunrise

That is not a sunrise,

The sun unable to rise sets.
