vague memory

every once in a while i wonder
where the love went
the love i thought i had - left
it disappeared - gone

like a whisp of hot water leaves
the pot and is - gone
in the cool of the air surrounding
the pot - i wonder if

it was true - of course it was
of course - but doubt - its gone
toady no hint is left - only
the vague memory of the warmth

sunset??

why do we call the sun going down "sunset"?
is it like setting a table?
or jelly or a pudding setting?

i get "sundown" or
how about "sundropping"
but "sunset" ? ...

someone will enlighten me ...
