I am being sacrificed on the altar of sun
Color yellow sinks into my exposed skin
Reaching my arteries pumping red blood
Veins delivering back to the atmosphere
Carbon dioxide with me melted in it
Step by step I am disappearing slowly
Becoming a patch of color yellow mixed
With red that still has a taste of my blood
On my dry chapped thirsty pale lips
Trying to whisper magical words
That brings me back to reality that is
Escaping me and I can’t remember
How it looked like before I was lied down
On devouring me sacrificial stone
Of color yellow that belongs to sun
I am disappearing into thick mixture
Of blue overpowering bright yellow
In swift strokes of my brush while
I am trying to paint a picture of me
Being sacrificed on the altar of sun
In three steppingstones completing
Sacrificial ritual of me melting away
In magical colorful magnificent way
