The head of the sun was unshorn,
I did not recognize his face-
Only a lion that spoke to me
Wide window framed,
Sky tamed- shaggy maned
A blazing corona!
Yellow fire burned,
No Ash,
Burned on deep-sea marble
Flicker of a golden flame.
A battered dubloon floated in a bowl of cobalt paint,
Shattered sun flower
Lost on the rip-tide of a tropical lagoon.
The bright flash,
A grain of sugar
Fallen from a spoon;
Immolated on a gas range in a darkened room.
