fire

the unsettling sun.
weaves across the sky like a
groggy pugilist.

bald sun has no hat.
yellow shines down upon me.
rich golden nuggets.

you said it was less.
but less said more it became.
words subject to loss.

tired heart in sad breast.
arms weary like sisyphus.
ground loose underfoot.

for a pound of flesh
would devil be satisfied?
greedy for your thoughts.

see beneath the rock.
bring to life the stifled man.
god for just one day.
