By Dominic Loise
The best sunsets
are in back dumpsters
put out to pasture
lighting up the alleys
stretching out the spectrum
shining off the stench
no one bothers
to just sit and lay
their eyes across these skies
sipping in this kicked to the curb
light give one last burst of colors
before it falls to grey
