The sunfish crucible


Against the glow
of the setting sun
and the bruising
of a topaz sky,
a flicker of light
from the rusting bowl
of the sunfish crucible.

The nymphs relinquish
their burning ache
to the mischief of Eden’s daughters,
wishing their last memory
wasn’t of the blue waters
on a Monday afternoon.

It's about the loss of Eden to the new god
