Analysis of Sunset Land
is coherence then finally
at the upper in our sight
like these gilt-edged cumuli
on which the last blazing light rides
are the old grieves soon forgotten
of those withheld freedom fights
from which brusque flashes fired
directed anger struck the ears
rage was thrashed with gusts
and sudden thunderbolts arose
the clouded air is clearing, while
semblance breaks off and shatters
the harsh rays graze the last rests
that won’t last even one more night
and resentment finally stops its fight
