A Sunset Sensation
By Tania Dawood
The Maghreb sky paints the city a beautiful blue
The last drop of sun takes its golden ray as it sets
Drinking the light off a final inch of my skin
I’m thankful for the brightness within
I sit with my hands together
Pinkies stitched side by side
As the dark reminds me of what it is
Teal shadows render me obsolete
I beg for a lamp to remain on the road
That only gets rockier as it goes
I open my eyes to a black velvet window
I feel fine under a starless sky
Remember I told you
My light sits inside
