a long drive into summer
racing down the Sun.
trying to catch the daylight
from its mortal plunge.
all of these tries,
but He always dies
rubbernecking another bloody nightfall.
Dusk creeps in slow
through the open window
doing his best to make no noise at all
a long drive into summer
racing down the Sun.
trying to catch the daylight
from its mortal plunge.
fireflies pay no attention,
foxtrotting across the farmland
like a lover undressed
a centaur’s arrows
tear shimmering flambeaus
across the sky’s dark flesh.
million, billion glittering jewels of brilliance
the chandelier of our insignificance
hangs Heaven out of my reach
