They were wrong about the sun.
It does not go down into the underworld at night.
The sun leaves merely
and the underworld emerges.
It can happen at any moment.
It can happen in the morning,
you in the kitchen going through
your mild routines.
Plate, cup, knife.
All at once there's no blue, no green,
no warning.
It does not go down into the underworld at night.
The sun leaves merely
and the underworld emerges.
It can happen at any moment.
It can happen in the morning,
you in the kitchen going through
your mild routines.
Plate, cup, knife.
All at once there's no blue, no green,
no warning.
