Then the Water. Now the Sun
The sun pulls over the line of condos
with lava rolling down her face
today she said good and tomorrow
she’ll supernova
she has been a playmate
the only friend in a new world
and somehow
I am going to have to get use to her
not being here with the already list
of heavenly bodies I have become accustomed
to not having around
Good bye sun and shine –
Bonny the Monkey
and the Angel the Dragon
will miss you, the Ducks and the Swallows
too. Even the old crust on the corner
will miss your fusion. Everyone is
in agreement
–this place won’t be the
that hot without you
