Sun perched in the trees, why do you stare at me? I’ve not sinned! Sun perched in the trees, why can’t you leave me be? Rest already so I can breathe, I’m barely standing, on my knees. Your piercing gaze, jets through me. You ******* sun, let the night take thee. A stain in the sky, blistering high, perched in the trees, let me be! I’ll trade you for anything, even disease, just bury yourself deep, into stone and granite. Settle behind cloudy seas, burrow into hillsides if need be, just avert your gaze, sun perched in the trees.
