Selene Campion

I'm Sorry

I'm sorry I watched the sunset.

You said it was too late for a child but it was

So serene upon the horizon.

Yellow tinged with pink,

It reminded me so much

Of a grapefruit.

Distantly reflected into the shimmering ocean

I thought I could hold it;

My outstretched hand grasped at thin air.
