even though it’s all just molecules


(“What did the existentialist say to the evolutionist?”

 

“I don’t know.”

 

“Oh, you’ve heard this one before?”)

 

sometimes the sunshine and its midmorning warmth

generates an embrace like wine that we import

i cannot catch the molecules in my photonic hand

but still i see the light on me and subtle on the sand

 

a warm embrace that i can trace with senses i possess

a sun inclined to always shine and smile a caress

a winter day is beautiful if that’s what we perceive

but in this light i feel the spite of one who’s been deceived

 

the borderlines that we design to separate us all

cannot exclude the beatitude that’s shining on this ball

and so i dance within the glance that leads to a sweet kiss

the sun is shining on me and there’s nothing that i miss

 

a mother earth or father sun i do not know such things

i only know this moment’s sun and all the warmth it brings

i know that photons are the name within the science books

it steals from romance all its game just like a common crook

and so i languish while i lather sun upon my skin

the light through trees i will perceive as warmth worn within
