apostrophe to the sun

family & friends flock to you in fields&beaches
seeking warmth & light / grateful of existence
picnics drinking past descent / adoring radiation



just concentrate on mercury venus mars forget about a planet
where people still worship you in practice but in theory have
cast off their awe of your godliness long ago & giants forming
their own systems godlike in their central orbits why waste
time on minor players who gather their most learned sages to
declare pluto not a planet—dupes in the vortex

pluto was never a planet
