Instructions for Capturing Sun
By: Raphael |
I can capture the sun in my hands
and encrust my two palms in its glow
so that each is a basket reversed.
It’s a funny conundrum, I know,
which the scientists glibly can burst,
but it’s true with this sun on these sands.
For the doubters, I’d try it out first:
face the light—let your arms be two stands—
and position them up (sun below)
so your face is in shade and your hands,
like a solar eclipse, core the glow
such that source and effect are reversed.
You will need to adjust it, you know:
open wide—wriggle back—let it burst
so the sunbeams are flecked at the sands
in a trembling cascade that pours first
on your little hand hairs, as it stands
in a halo, and crowns you, below.
