One more melanoma day
ends itself in ash and cinder.
Our crisp souls, clichéd
to yet another auto-da-fé
to competitive conformity.
But (just now starting)
we mount our nocturnal bucket brigade,
begin passing forth and back
these cool liquids of our life
from one to the other,
refill and back again,
refill and back again
between two suns.
