And The Sun Shone Down


from the ABC set Experimental Works

The Sun rose
pushing through
the darkness
as if it were a child
struggling to be born.
Spreading
it’s golden light before it
trumpeting hope

If it had a voice
surely that voice would shout
look... look at me
I bring hope.

The Sun
does not have a voice
It does not bring hope
just another hot day in Hell...
