Sunshine
Sunshine
By Stina lu
The sunshine dived for my face
Covered the crow's feet of years
It's almost a blessing
My cheeks were flushed
Like a long gaze in the depths of time
The heat which I could not avoid
Love or intrigue
Boisterousness or loneliness
Arrogance, depression, greed, regret…
And a middle-aged woman's transient joy
All have been kidnapped by the sun
With air drying and sun curing
They turn into specimens of memory
Even death can be lifelike
Only my soul has escaped
for which the sun is still on the hunt
A hermit of cowardice and pride
curls up in the shadow of the city
in collusion with time and tide
It hates the darkness
but commits to it
