Solar
Sun lowering onto rooftops
Earth rising
such slight movements
sitting here
reading on the bench
outside the ground floor
apartment
Rimbaud is travelling
in Aden
while the two numbers
burn their spell
on your door
images of the Spanish flu
some estimate
100 000 000
DEAD
black and white
masked images
eerily reminiscent
a black mass
under the sun
the beautiful
bounteous
SUN
the
bees buzzing
what’s left of them
your nerves playing
with YOU
not now reading
the sun holds
your face
in its
gaze
the voices of women
can be heard
and a lone
gull
calling
to its mate
the
sun now
BLAZING
envelopes
the house opposite
in its golden
crown
