light overcoming darkness
on half the sphere’s horizon
but no where else
the Sun shining a bit longer
on death
by war and famine and violence
each day now
the sphere of power willfully deluminating
our screens, the world, our souls
curating our light and dark, a false, distorted, disorienting equinox
that’s only half of it
we close our eyes to it
we go to the cinema
we wear darker sunglasses
we look eternally west instead of east
we put a ballot into a black hole, and
pretend sunshine might escape, emerge from it
alight your self.
