An open letter to the sun.

Sep 21, 2006 21:55

Dear Mr. Sun, Life Giving Sun.

I'm enchanted by your flaming lips.
The ones that spat forth Mother Earth.
Like Molten Cud.
I'm lost in your diseased structure, an isotope graveyard
where bright eyes
go to die.
Will you come home tonight?

Hungry Sun

Consuming bone, the wood of my flesh, as if brisket.
Munching on God's children and succumbing to heart burn
trying to digest their acidic garbage.
Your belches wilt the cosmos. Put down the fork fatty.

Cancerous Sun

You're an itch,
A boil on my ego
A hot fungus, parading in my blood.
Multiplying, under my skin.
Like manifest epidermal destiny.

Atom Smashing Sun

How Ironic,
You Ionic,
Nuclear Furnace
That you desire to scorch the skies,
but it's your desire that's burning you.

Scalding Sun

Searing me with your stare, your light.
Your ancient eyes exhaust me.

Gaseous Sun

Your wasted breath
inspires precambrian life,
Your eyelids weighted,
with the dust of nebulas
and you have no one to brush it off.

Centrifugal Sun

A nuclear despot,
A tyrant of the void
gravitating everything towards your solar regime.

Blinding Sun

So bright in your vanity.
So beautiful, you can't bare
to share your body with earthly voyeurs
without taking their sight as payment.

All Engulfing Sun

How is it,
that you are so far away,
wearing the moon as your slippers
and yet, you're always touching me?
