here you are /
same sun leaning over the horizon /
that stuck in the throat /
30 years ago /
same sun /
spying without cover /
whose timing is questionable /
striking the wet eye /
stunning the cadence of the oath /
same sun /
sleeping for another world /
maddening the children to run out at noon /
and embrace your blinding wares /
same sun /
swimming in the broken water /
of the river unnamed /
same sun /
god to infants /
yet uncommitted to speak /
our transparent patterns /
same sun /
quiet from this distance /
but bellowing in its own /
neighbourhood /
same sun /
opening my chest /
with just a hint /
of its brow /
pulling years forward /
with a simmering gravity
