Sunset Impressions
By Julie Lacksonen
Sunsets get attention in stories, artwork, and rhyme.
Vibrant colors exemplify the early nighttime.
*
Yellow, orange, pink, and red, contrasting with blue.
Keep your eyes to the sky for this spectacular view.
*
Sunset, representing the end of day
Sunset of life means we’re naturally gray.
*
Why is it some people in sunset are virtually ignored,
When they’re often as vibrant as ever before?
*
We should learn from our elders and hold them up in esteem.
Their experiences are extensive, their knowledge, supreme.
*
Sunset, representing the end of a day
Sunset for some, means they’ve been cast away.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
