Howling at the Sun

Howling at the sun

Why are you?

Don't stare at it

Didn't your mother raise you right?

Your eyes will burn out

Why you howling anyways?

In this direction?

At a star of all things

This some sort of a

Triumphant thing?

Or the other way?

Your despair howls need work then

If not the former

And anyways and either ways

I prefer my triumphs Roman style

Don't you know?

With circuses and parades on wide avenues

Not with the howling

Solitary howling at the sun

Don't look don't stare

Will burn your eyes out

Didn't your mother teach you nothing?

Any ways

In this day and age

Howling at the sun

Somewhat unbecoming

Of one such as you

In celebration or despair

Regardless
