The Fury Of Sunsets

Something

cold is in the air,

an aura of ice

and phlegm.

All day I've built

a lifetime and now

the sun sinks to

undo it.

The horizon bleeds

and sucks its thumb.

The little red thumb

goes out of sight.

And I wonder about

this lifetime with myself,

this dream I'm living.

I could eat the sky

like an apple

but I'd rather

ask the first star:

why am I here?

why do I live in this house?

who's responsible?

eh?
