sun set

we knew you wouldn’t make it through the night

i felt a panic as the sun began to slump

i wanted to stop the sun from setting but I could not

the sun set and you took your last breath

my life would never be

the same

sun rise

we chose your middle name first, it would be zad

in farsi it means son

on the day that you were born you arrived at the exact minute the sun rose

my life would never be

the same

sun set
