time
turned the sun
to stone
in the cold
endless night we
harvested bromeliad
dracaena and cast iron plant
and huddled together
in well worn blankets
entranced by
stars

day in the sun
your last day in the sun
we played in the yard
then god took you and god
it was hard

frontier of palms
the arc of a thousand suns
made of time stamped with light
the arc of tears over cheeks runs
from the sight
one day you fashioned a frontier
made of emphatic palms
lit up like faces of full moons
which no one dared
cross

sun and sea
the old sea turns
a very deep blue
our eyes skipping stones
flirt with the pages
everything touched by the sun
i ask can it be?
you say it’s forever
maybe
maybe

1983
our senses gone
an unbroken dawn
cracks and poaches its whites by the sea
the folding of time into the sun and elements
overexposed the same
no one to blame
adventure magnificent and tragic
we will never love like that
again

untimely
blood
upon the lips
when i came to
untold hours
unconscious i
stayed up all night without
any draw toward sleep
i mistook the sun
for death and the
moon for the sun
my face
pale as unpainted walls
i wanted something
i know not what i know nor
how to behave
i know not
why

sun 17 shine
the earth does all the heavy lifting
the sun just shines
today
leave the past in the past
where it was meant
to be
let the future be unknown
today be like the sun
let the earth do the lifting
stand up for yourself and
shine

property of the sun
solitary
censored
the sun kept a great distance from everyone it influenced
to do its proper work
the moon
she wouldn’t damage your retina
mark her with flags
claim her
you who are owned
by the sun
#katyamills
needy
the sun was burning things
no one could stop it
the sun was trying to reach us
to touch us
the sun wanted to be known
to communicate
to be felt deeply
to be seen the sun was
just like us
just like us
#katyamills
the earth does all the heavy lifting while the sun just shines
the sun crossed the sky
everyone was amazed
reminded her of her ex
didn’t do a damn thing
and got all the credit
