How The Invisible Sun Eventually Showed Its Teeth

A chronology of deception

	1) The invisible sun ---- felt in breaths, whispers
and silent mornings; bright, blooming, being.
	(The sun can’t grow anything alone,
hoarse  from silence. A minor world that welcomes
those who come.)

	2) The invisible sun ---- devoid of reason, still
dreamt of in air, wind, and water (that gave
a fading moment of life)
		(Movement off of center; from down left
to the upper right ---- balance shifts
but gravity is constant.)

	3) The invisible sun ---- devoid, empty, ague;
still burning tired eyes ---- alive, wide, screaming.
		(Somewhere in the distance hides a reason,
but not for weary eyes.  The dream changes, now placid,
idiomatic, pre-empt, true.)

	4) The invisible sun ---- devoid? Somewhere
still devoid. Thus being devoid, invisible. Then
believing, not dreaming, drinking or dying; 
how can the invisible be believed?
		(Last midnight   The sweet song called morning
An instigator of the living    Tricked into being)

	5) The invisible sun ---- with no need to hide
from anybody searching ---- trying to rule
by saying ‘you are right’ ----- believing a fading dream,
going to reinvent it.
		(New song, rhythm cogent; calling me
to dance the bottles back to sand, their mysterious cousin.  Freedom 
to let the dream rise and retreat.)

	6) The invisible sun ---- always right behind us.
Can we turn our backs now?  Face strong eyes
to the darkness?  And look through the rest
of the world invisible as we?
		(Evening; grief, giving up with a thank-you;
the magic if hovering like a storm cloud ---- starting to crawl
from the bottom ---- smiling freedom when you smile.)
