No rational correlation, no intent on the part
of the Post Office that recently issued Forever
Stamps celebrating the sun.
About that Forever part, I mean. We can hope.
Coronal loops, plasma blasts:
Stunning shades of gold and copper. Fire,
after all. The deep marble blue
of the solar flare, tranquil and torrid.
We still celebrate celestial bodies as if
Earth is the center of the universe
and all of it is just there for show.
