Sunset

Have you ever just walked outside,
your head preoccupied with some bullshit,
and get punched in the gut by a sunset?
You think you’ve seen them all
but suddenly you’re standing there, weeping,
remembering that before you woke up this morning
you had been human.
It breaks your heart to see something so beautiful.
It offends the machine that has been slowly encasing your body.
Your heart explodes into your throat
because the sunset is dying.
You will never know it again.
The moment slips and you die with it.

Got something to say? Go for it!
