SUNFLOWER GODDESS

i once wrote a poem
for you sunflower goddess

each word is tainted
with my blood
each line is drawn
within the ambivalent ambit
of my aching heart

i look for you sunflower
goddess
i am the moon

you are destined for
the harshness of the noonday sun

tonight you will be mine
but you are dead
sunflower goddess

i will bury you in the embrace of my golden sheen
tonight
my witness shall be a hundred stars
