the jealous sun

			the jealous sun



the number of mouths that have said the moon is jealous
	well, 
		they’re wrong

the sun is the jealous one.

he is jealous of her changing beauty 
	         of her cool demeanor
		 the fact that we can look upon her face without blindness

the sun is jealous of her all that and a bag of moon chips
	made from moonlight and dreams
		they are what beauty tastes like
			they are beauty

i’ve witnessed the jealousy of the sun
	taking over her time in the summer
		longer times for him to shine
			         for her to take a backseat to his brilliance
							        his shining rays
		but the moon keeps on
			going through her phases
			showing her changing beauty
						night after night
			including the darkness of the womb
		each month she is
			        we are
					reborn

but the sun keeps his the same
	day after day
		the only extra power he has 
			the cyclic power to encroach upon her time

some have called them lovers
	star- and rock-crossed lovers
	destined for sadness
		destined to be alone
			   to chase one another
			through the skies while we sleep and love and fuck and work and write
		
		destined

yet, 
	if they were lovers she wouldn’t always be running
			she wouldn’t always be called jealous
				a heavenly body reduced to the simplicity of human emotions

	if they were lovers
		one of them would allow the other to catch up

no, no, no
		there is no love lost here
	she knows that she is strong
		she knows
