The sun so central
in my cosmology is
more than random radiance restrained,
more than quaint teachings,
more than urgent belief...
It is a deep down glory
a cellular cri du coeur
an ancient reverence that
shines through
the skins of my lives...
Shines in the shimmer of alchemists’ gold
shines in the
folds of fairy tales
the mists of myths
and the upturned faces
of sundancers blood
trickling down their chests
red as the skies
inflamed by the the fiery orb.
