From the Foreword -
Sunset Song
By John G. Hartness
inspired by David Childers' The Prettiest Thing
She sat on the hood of her big brother's truck
drinking warm Miller Lite and laughing
while he strummed that beat up Martin guitar
his daddy left behind.
She leaned back on the windshield;
he sang off-key Dylan songs,
scuffed cowboy boots tapping time on the dents
as her beer and the daylight blazed out in crimson-purple glory.
He looked up at her,
a backlit angel with a sunset halo
and cutoff shorts
and knew this
was the sweetest thing he'd ever see.
