I am the Sun
In hot atmosphere
Photon fingers
Of the near star
Pulling hard
I barely survive
With skin intact
*
We are the Sun
cloud-flecked
blue air above us
summer green
surrounding warm skin
we’re free here
like butterflies
hawks, foxes
deer, serpents
like undulant trout
we’re arms and legs
splayed wide
at play with each other
spread under radial boughs
of wide open elms
we’re hot pink
as thistles
and naked
like the flesh of day lilies
pulsing nearby
as we pound each other
into the ground
