belly fire for us it meant impending darkness
we'd never seen the city so dark and quiet

mangrove i still owe myself that one single sunset.

ever since that night when i watched the sun setting and was torn apart i haven't been able to face it again. i'll see one and quickly glance away before i have to face myself again.

but that one sunset is still there, waiting for me.

Fido I chase light occasionally.
Steve agrees it pleases.
Geez, I'm pleased to
Let the tail wag in darkness
While I whiff an Alaskan sun
For shame the Bay back home
Gets wind of my dodgy doin!

kerry according to my phone, sunset is at 7:46 pm. at 7:40 louie and i go out to find it.

the streets are eerily silent. there's a cozy, yeasty smell in the air, the smell of baking bread.

the sky is mostly a periwinkle blue. i can see pink above some of the houses, more south than i expected, and we chase it.

on mole street, a man stands on his stoop smoking a cigar, his bald head and ears sunburnt to a crisp. he nods politely as we pass. three little girls are playing with their dolls a couple doors down. just before we hit oregon avenue i hear a child in a red brick house holler, "you son of a bitch!"

we're too late--we missed it. louie doesn't care, but i'm disappointed. we'll go out earlier tomorrow.
