In Case You Missed It

The Sun 
looked creamy,
like a pat of butter
melting inside 
chunky white
mashed potatoes 
clouds;
light and fluffy 
in a big 
China blue 
bowl.
Then...
it melted.
As if
God
ate it.

Thanks. :D Cool! :) I first tried to read it at the library, but couldn't finish it... felt confused... being from the perspective of Death and all... but then the movie came out... and I was like hey, that's the book I tried to read!... it was so moving that I tried again with the book... finally it came to life in my imagination... I was then able to complete the book. Really great book.
