Myth
The old ones talk
of a mythical creature
that dwells behind the grey curtain.
They call it “sun”
and speak of it as if
they had seen it
with their own eyes.
What an impossible fable!
A white ball
that can breathe fire
and dry out
the soggy soil,
and that shines light,
brighter than this gloomy glow?
Shivering, we huddle
close to the speakers
as if their fairy tale
could warm us.
