Our Lovely Sun
I count two beats left
Two crunched heartbeats before I'm gone
They begin:
clench -
Lay from my angle the setting star washed the sky red
I take one fourth of my immense time to immerse in it
- untense
The edges of the world seem to collapse slightly
clench -
Unacceptable to say - the colour washed my blood ultra-crimson. Somehow
redder than red -
My eyes must be what are losing themselves now
First was my legs - folded into the dunes, the feeling of burning
grains lost on their skin.
- untense
Long gone are my nerves
Now the neurons blink out like dying stars
Like our lovely sun
