In a suburbia of firsts,
my room's on a second
floor. Its window faces west. 
Evenings I climb

down stairs my parents
are too old to climb, the sun burns
through even the thickest

curtain as it descends, 
its blinding heat a sea
swallowing the east.

The world ends 
everywhere
for everyone: the old
and the unproven.

burns through even the thickest  move burns up

curtain as it descends, move curtain up

swallowing the east. these two lines work really well, solid [S's]
