Sonsondergaan – A Poem

“Sonsondergaan” is Afrikaans for “Sunset”

Sonsondergaan
© Garth Dutton, 2008

The sun is going
Under the horizon.
We should also think
About what the sun is undergoing.
It knows it is leaving half the world
In darkness to fend for itself,
So tries to make every exit special.
In the entire history of the world
There has never been the same sunset twice.
