Sun, heart of fire, flames in the sky, you, like a burning city-- am I then your scarlet silk Rome? (I am everything for you, nothing next to you) and the breath is knocked out of me by you, my heart is clawed out for you and it is I, I claw it, with blood-red talons, my blood is not for you, my blood is for the universe and the universe is all you. and for all my wit and words, daughter of fast-talkers and runners breath and smoke and city-burners, for all the words I've spoke and spun there is nothing--              no words--                                    for--                                                   you!
