about a sunset

1

this is about a sunset

1.1

it is not sentimental or romantic but

1.2

a plane is dropping down

the fading face of sky slicing a scar of cloud alight

2

a jet

is propelled by

things breaking

2.1

below where the eye can go

everything is

clinging

to everything

2.2

these bonds break apart, a finger in the sky

2.3

the plane makes its way i don't know where

3

Darius

said unto Daniel

come, tell me a tale of how things end

4

the stars

4.1

the sun with its sweep of fire

5

this is a writing

to a drunk man

5.1

these are heavenly letters dropped

5.2

this is from the sky down

to molecular compounds

5.3

these are words

we don't have for

5.4
