The sun is confused today, can’t find its orbit, can’t find the sun

Author: Kyla Pasha

know that dance

We look for shade

from the sun. Large leafy

trees, banyans, whatever

lasts longest, whatever ever renews.

She sought the sun and

found it, invited it to dance

and some days you could

see it flutter and dim beneath

`Of course we will carry the flag, but she would seek out the sun, and fight it. And I don’t know – I don’t know if any of us,

her feet. Other days

it burnt and blistered her, it

burnt us all and there was

no shade. No shade.

The sun is confused today. Can’t

find its orbit, can’t find the earth,

Can’t find its fiercest dance partner

It wobbles uncertain. It shines bleachy

Listen

We will carry

the flag, of course.

Of course we will carry the flag, but

she would seek out the sun, and fight it.

And I don’t know – I don’t know if any of us,

know that dance.
