THE SUN GOD
Poem
around art from Karin Greenwood
I am a legend in the sky
he said to the snails
surfing on the clouds
Without me waves would not
court the sea
Without me waves would not
reach for heaven
Watch me set
is a better cure
against depression
than taking your precious
sponsored medicines
Watch me rise
so oranges can grow
instead of perishing
in the moonlight
Watch me shine with care
so you can find
a person lost downtown
like Vicky Vandermeers
My secret is this:
I am pistachio nuts
because of the lack
of greens
If I am patriarch or matriarch
has no importance
I am god and when I die and die I will
I shall shout the rooftop from the sky
& you will join me in my cries.
