Descended from the sun

my heart is the size of the world

and, beating, pulses through

the living breathing bodies

of the dangerous and wondrous

forest


my heart is the size of the world

and my ancestry goes back

to the sun


to that great being with long tendrils of flame

surrounding a benevolent fierce face


and my body, like the body of that

great fierce being

radiates outwards in all directions


i am descended

from the sun

and how could i not look

back

back

back

to honor that lineage?
