You are the sun
I cannot look at you directly
The space between us
is an infinite journey of years
If I spend too long in the light of you
my skin will burn; go tender
I often struggle to relate
to your experience as a celestial body
I get so lost
between the myth of you and what is real
You are the sun
I cannot look at you directly
But it’s enough just to be in your orbit
to catch any of your kisses on my face
To receive your steady warmth and witness
the way the earth wakes up to greet you;
All of life erupting
