A Death In the Sun
At last
At last we know
He was not always to be
He was not permanent
Not the everlasting punished
Not the everlasting punisher
Not some northern Prometheus
Caught
Caught stealing ice and snow
From a northern God’s Olympus
Today
Today I see
See the slush-puddle formed
Where he stood
Where the snowman stood
‘Neath roiling blasted skies
Looking out
Looking straight ahead
With cold blue-crystal eyes
Today
Today I see
See the clear puddle formed
Faintly rippling in the wind
Reflecting
Reflecting VICTORY!
Reflecting sky’s ultimate
Her searing golden eye
