Recall Me Sun-flowers


I was staring at the dust of the moon
when you said she was painted
lazy, that they all are,
being born closer to the sun.

And now my brushes paint flowered recollections
in the remnants of that dusty sun,
and I wonder if it ever mattered
that you were a bigot
against the star-struck skies,

caught now in the swirl of our sun-puddle ashes.

From here I watch it all go by,
thinking about everglade
extinction, and black panthers
with their invisible spots
decayed in yesterday’s Eden

reborn of elemental dust,
treeless for her three billion year gestation

and the hue of my spots still doesn’t matter.
