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
