The Sun, Edvard Munch

what percentage of the sun is madness
                 ~ of the all consuming
             doesn't care less kind

are we even talking percentages 
                 when a taint is enough ~
beauty/life giving
      how cleansed you feel 
   when it's just enough
           ~ so much is true
      all at once ~

     it'll blind you!
           you'll die of exposure!

    I know enough to bathe in this madness
       to let it change my skin 
                                    and my hair
     my mood enhanced 
             as I step out 
the dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot
               forgotten in an instant 

...---...til we look to the ground
           and there's something out of place
that's it. spoiled. the moment done for
      the creep of impending thought...---...

   sear to strip away
                  please
         how much madness/is too much
   is there such a thing as/too little

       when the sun shines we forget it all
   those rays make something more
                           of the spaces inbetween 
     SOS calling
