sun of mind (villanelle)
sun of mind (braking with tradition)
o sun of mind thou’st shone thy final ray
you coalesced in gravitation’s grip
you fused and fizzed your hydrogen away
the balance held the nova held at bay
till fuel was spent and forces strove to rip
o sun of mind thou’st shone thy final ray
there is no cure for entropy they say
nor is there any way to fix & flip
you fused and fizzed your hydrogen away
an incantation does not grant a stay
an execution’s lethal rope or drip
o sun of mind thou’st shone thy final ray
the end of local history the clay
of livingness dissolves by fissile whip
you fused and fizzed your hydrogen away
and blast makes peace and endness is okay
when life gets bilious the more we sip
o sun of mind thou’st shone thy final ray
you fused—hey, this is unacceptable. Forget it. Fight! FIGHT! fight!
