LAST LIGHT

Is the sun a 
       star lover? 
 starlight, starbright....
       it’s gorgeous 
 

 It is indeed. 
       a star lover
              it is
                  h o m o s t e l l u l a r 
 

 We’re gonna be really
        homostellular 
     when you get back here
          to this place between breasts
 

 Galactical death dance, 
        spiral into a black 
                    hole 
 

 I count on it 
      sage quaking shyly 
 never so turned on 
      as now, in the 
           raybath sunset
 

 But the way 
     it smiles 
 so sweetly on
      the earth 
 day after day for 
 millennia and 
 era clockwork 
 

 makes me wonder 
       who is loved 
               by a sun
 

 no one else could 
 kiss you like that 
 

 between the ears and neck
 behind the waterfall of twisted hair
 

 being inside of you  
 means flashing
 like stars across 
 galaxies 
 

 I see that 
        place you go 
 sometimes
 

       .stunning. 
 

 and wonder how I know 
 

 and wonder who
       the sun loves.
