The Sun Is - Guadalupe Salgado Partida

in fact larger than it appears, hanging in its orbital ritual

                                                              of repetition: this god of fire dances to bring spring, births

light necessary for life,  goes by a multitude of names

                                                              and has been taught all tongues by those who titled

their gaze upward And wondered what are you 

                                                              and what am I? 

the outline of its luminous sphere always responding 

                                                            in its currency of silence [                                              ] 1
