Sunrise by ~Wolf-kin:iconWolf-kin:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Nature > Open


I drank liquid amber
like oxygen
the first time the sun rose.

It burned frostbitten
paisley marks on my lips;
someday a man will
wipe them off
with the calloused
turn of his thumb.

Then the translucent gold
will clamber up his wrists
until it coats his skin
and pours down his throat.

We will both be sunrises then,
and turn rosy in the fingers
when the fancy takes us.

Holy poetry, Batman.
Or, as my mother would say, "Holy Dromedary, batman!"

I'm just stockin' y'all up on my liddle backlog of poetry.

Not absurdist, just a little abstract. <3
Written in/inspired by the lovely place that is my Big/Little Brother's room. (I just wanted to use his pretty Mac to type stuff.)

Crits! We love them!

metaphoric would me more proper than abstract. very lovely poem I must say, with vivid imagery displaying deep feeling.

It just ... it ... I dunno. It makes me feel like ... It ... I ... it's the hope that all the golden sunrises you've stored up are NOT in vain, waiting to rot, but will be taken and enjoyed by someone else. So .. yeah. It ... was sweet.
