have you ever seen the sun?

have you seen the yellow the gold the rays of the sun and exclaimed, "god! you're fucking hot!" have you ever seen the luminosity the brightness the warmth the light? that sun — he's hot. and that's why aphrodite and apollo and athena and even fucking artemis — parade themselves around the sun. they feed off of his energy. they chew on his heat. they eat up his hotness. and he's still hot!

have you ever seen the ocean?

it's blue.

and the sky? have you seen it?

the sky is blue too.

and have you seen pure ivory?

not the contaminated colonist that profited off of genocide slavery and oppression kind.

the kind with bits of alizarin. the kind that the angels wear. the kind of ivory that clouds try to be. the kind that draws you to god. the kind that brings you to the gates of paradise.

have you ever seen love?

not the middle school kind. not the i looked at your ass and now i have a boner kind. not the divorce after fifteen years kind. not the kill for life insurance kind.

the kind that bleeds. the kind that sprouts. the kind that's so red, even the roses are jealous. the kind that tastes like ice cream cotton candy pizza friday. the kind that the sun brings every day when he burns for us. the kind that giggles. the kind that kisses with fire.

have you ever seen him? have you ever seen us?
