the sun is a man.

In not all but most mythologies
The sun is a man. The sun is a man
who sets in drag the furrowed skies
chained fast to that deep scarred land

unlike Icarus
Neither man nor sun. Neither man nor sun
freed under the cool darkness
for just half a world’s turn

In not all but most mythologies
The sun is a god. The sun is a god
who paves the untilled sky
channels fast gouged into sacred land

like Daedalus
Both god and man. Both god and man
whose son’s rise was his downfall
his creations his prison

In not all but this mythology
God is a man. God is a man
