To People Who Despise the Sun

A poem with many relevant meanings for those who have seen better days.

To People Who Despise the Sun

You cannot hide from the summer.
If you close the door behind you
And draw the blinds, even,
It will disguise itself as a bird’s song
Or a peddler’s bell that permeates your walls
And leads you to push down a fading filter
And peer out with a grim disposition.

You take in what you can
Until the scene sears and sickens.
That is when you hurriedly withdraw
And hide yourself in the corner of a closet,
Where no sunlight ever reaches, except
In your brave visual venture, which stays
As a memory, and may trigger a bit of pain.

Eventually you will have to step out
And leave the cool, dry shadows
For the hot, humid wetness of
The inescapable that pricks your skin
And smothers you with heat.
Your swollen tongue lolls impatiently
And your limbs feel restless.

Take heart, soon the sun will have to set—
Even if it takes longer than usual.
Then you embrace the damp and the darkness
Which keep away the memories that drag.
Stay awake—scarce is a moment like this
That gives solace. Soon you will be seen outside
Celebrating the short-lived night.
