No one speaks
of the other face
where the sun turns away
from its own fire.
There,
light arrives as rumor,
Penumbra drapes the craters
in half-truths
shadows with silver edges,
ghosts of warmth
that
never
touch.
The umbra
is deeper than silence.
It is
violet sorrow
frozen in motion,
a sanctuary
built of
charred frost.
Even the wind
moves carefully here,
tracing broken helixes
in gold-ash air.
And yet
in that hush,
in that glacial hush
something
blooms.
A flicker,
A rebellion
in cobalt and fireglass.
The frozen side of the sun
dreams
not of warmth~
but of
colour.
