dusk.

i could see it from my

 classroom window.

i knew it would be

stunning.

so after my 36 "see you next time!" 

to my students,

i threw my things

together,

waved a hurried goodbye

to my co-teacher,

and i was out the door.

i wanted to see the sun,

to see it say its goodbye

to the day

from the roof

of my apartment.

with my camera,

i stood tip-toe

on the corner of the

drying-rack stand.

i could just see the very last

edges of it.

it cast the most beautifully

haunting shadows and shades

over every object in its sight.

the light

made the ordinary

magical

and intriguing.

while i starred

at the last rays 

of the beams of sun

it seemed that 

everything else went a bit

blurry.

and only the sun

mattered.
