.the other side. [[original poem]]

There it goes
behind the mountains
before I can count 1, 2, 3, 4--
It's gone. It feels like it just
arrived.
The days are so full of
questions and laughter,
conversations and tears.
I can't help but to notice the quickness
with which the sun sets.
Sunsets.
Perhaps it wants to
escape
this broken world.
Or maybe his mother called him
home.
They say the earth
moves
around the sun.
Which is to say the sun
didn't move
at all.

I like to think the sun
has a date
with the other side of the world.
