Unborn bodies follow us
to New Tenochtitlan
where poppies and marigolds
flower, hidden in tall grass
a grist of bees has built their hive
in the carcass of a boar
Here bodies cease
& the wraiths of those bodies
transcend into sun:
light as cloud vapor
A pale fawn struggles
to stand straight on transparent legs
We will pilot their legs
like mother deer until they can
move them on their own to
return with crude meat,
more fresh bodies to be dipped
in lucid currents of golden river
where mind flourishes into itself,
an animal of the self
Blinded by sun
we become
**
Everything is sun
Moonlight also is
just sunlight
reflected off white rock
There are hundreds of suns
out in that
dark
It is worth searching
for one to call your own
**
The last two seconds:
You will vanish,
you will
be remembered
by sun solely
Not even water
could
remember the shape
of your body
submerged
A warm meniscus in atrophy
**
A boat crashes in moonlight
onto sawtooth rock cliffside
We prosecute, mislead,
destroy
those who impersonate
sun
This time it was the lighthouse men
They swallow salt
Water bubbles out
the corners of their mouths
**
We take boats out, others swim
Black water pricks
their blueish skin,
crystalline beneath moon
The ones we took for the sun,
the ones we killed float &
collect the star’s reflection
Their soul matter wails
under the water
Little bubbles
Little bubbles
Remind us we are
alive Still.
**
Earth people tell us
lies about our beloved
sun, they say
in space if you
rest on the moon
the glow of Earth
outweighs
any beauty sun
creates
& moon’s true beauty
is its power over the sea
**
We are here now:
Earth & moon
intertwine
in the warmth
of our solar arms
Look at them now
Jump in a pool
you can not
get wet for you are
a sun
like us your lover too is
a sun
a sun
a sun
