Yellow Sun
I saw a yellow sun recently
It made everything glow
So beautifully
All the colors of life
Clear and vibrant
Deep
Expressions
Of the emotions they made me feel.
I was so surprised by this yellow sun
Because it had been so long
Since I had seen one
The searing white hot light
That pulsed and beamed
And burnt my flesh
Had become the norm
The trails smeared by jets
That covered this white sun
Was our normal now
But when I saw the yellow sun
It brought a comfort and calm
One I had forgotten
From my childhood
Before things had turned to
Screaming and struggles
When it was just me
Surrounded by my little friends
As we dove into my pool
Over and over again
Smelling wonderfully
Of chlorine and Coppertone
We stayed in too long
Until our fingertips were
Unrecognizable
Who were we now?
We floated together in the center of the innertube
And watched the ripples of light travel back and forth across each other
Glowing on the bottom of the pool
And I think I realized then
But forgot along the way
That time is not linear
But all around us in every way
Every direction all at once
Like those sunlit patterns on the floor of the pool
Always crossing over each other
Merging
And then receding
And pushing right through-
Like tides but clearer to see.
As I floated there with my little friend
Back to back
our tiny spines touching
Yellow sun drying
and nurturing us at the same time
As the nylon of my bathing suit
Clung to my freckled skin
And the breeze cooled me just enough to not realize that I was sunburning
And oh!
what I wouldn't give for a yellow-sun-sunburn now!
To fill me up with that good
Energy.
This white hot imposter
Leaves only anxiety and depression
It makes me the crazy one
As no one else seems to notice this strange new sky
But this...
This is NOT
my childhood sky.
