the sunset keeper

by Cole Atkinson

i see you,
sunset keeper--
the fickle moon blade
inches from your lovely throat.
sweating tears
and bleeding rain,
i guess you feel
like god's favorite whore.

i can help you.

love me,
sunset keeper,
and i'll show you a sunrise.

This has the quiet wit and style of a nicely-captured five a.m. musing. It's good stuff.

...sunsets, sunrises, keepers and all; i like the play with this; and don't think i can't make something of it...i can and do.

Nicely done.
