Fading Sun
November 30, 1992
I can see the black sky move
boil past my window sill
I can see the dust clouds roll
day by day by day
I can ��t see the sun no more
I can ��t fear the motion
I can ��t wait another year
my world frozen
sun rises ��
looks down upon its place
a world pridefully black and white
a sphere of peace to gaze upon ��
year by year the sun looks on
sees the green shift in the blue
year by year looks down, beats down
upon the shell we have named out own
sees lands move to our familiar portion
sun waits ��
a break in time to stop the motion
a break in time to pierce the sky
sees nothing of the rise of man
watches shell beneath it turn
sees flashes of our every war
beholds the creation of our largest wall
sees our coverslip turn grey
turn black by instant vision
relative to nature ��d time
and in an instant all is over
as the sun looks down
and I can see the black sky fold
grip dented to my windowsill
and I can see the hunger come
and famine and the cannibal march
and I can hold it in my hand
but cannot touch the notion
I can ��t wait another year
my world frozen
sun rises
sears a black reflection
no notion of oil on the water
soot to fill the sky
so cannot comprehend
atmosphere locking away
the god of burning ships
world lost beneath the waves
sun rises
but the earth is that which spins
it must be an illusion ��
sun sets
but no one notices
world moves on
there is no one to remember ��
that the sun don ��t set in truth
unclosing eye mute witness
all illusion as the world spins
as the day by day moves on
I watch the blackness shift in waves
and the children ��
they don ��t believe this old man ��s words
no matter what their books say
