Sol

the sun is coming up outside.

I can’t see that from the place I sit

and write this missive

but the clock says it’s so.

I trust this to be true…

I believe it because the sun, well

the sun is reliable and doesn’t

say one thing and do something else entirely.

Which is why I have decided,

here,

now,

that I won’t personify it-

the sun,

or sunshine-

because people aren’t that way

and the sun shouldn’t

be dismissed as

nothing better than you.
