Creation Remembered as the Moment of Destruction

The first mirror sun
             sat like a stone
       fixed in the sky
Rising and falling
       over the same
             horizon

Then the thunder came
       archangel electrical
             trumpets
       underground lightning
Turquoise from Venus
             rained

And the blood that came down
            still runs through our limbs
       and makes our brains shiver

We don't
            want
      to know

The Sun we now worship
            a trauma
Knowledge flies in circles
            like bees
The future we chase
      the only myth left
            to escape
