Sunsets in Strawberry Fields
Chevvy Sebastian
On rare occasions do
Sunsets
Occur in
Strawberry Fields.
Inverted eyes and green sprouts
Cloud your vision.
Life is easy in this state.
Tree houses lay bare,
Nothing more being hung from the branches.
Taking the long roads
Where everything is surreal
And real.
No,
Not real—
Forever.
Strawberry paints
Burst like grenades
Over silver hammers and canvases
And no one knows how far the
Never-ending fields go.
Love goes on trial
As eyes close
And hearts
Stop.
