A red sun, pooling like a drop of blood,
coagulates at the edge of darkness.
And night flows over its shadows, a flood
black as pitch, inking a seamless starkness.
A gilded moon, like a pitted gold coin,
beams in the sky as a beacon of light.
And like swarms of flashing fireflies, stars join
quasars and pulsars, twinkling in the night.
Dawn frets like a nervous actor offstage
who is eager to introduce the sun.
And as a gossamer breeze turns the page,
morning shimmers like a web, freshly spun.
And Sol rises as a golden doubloon,
afloat in the air like a songbird's tune.
