Can immortality be found in a cup?
I long to partake with you.
In your immortality--
You leave as I leave your cup.
Leave me inside the cup
Mouth your prayers
Cover the lid, a boulder, cavernous sun.
Distance measures itself,
As the circle is to your cup,
While I stare, beseeching
At the wind turning you into dust
Her ritual is done. It is done.
His body-- the body of her son.
The wind lifts her hands to offer you.
The sun bares his teeth.
Sipping in your cup, then came an epiphany--
I am who am.
I: the carnivorous sun.
