Old Sun

You're getting weak, Old Sun.
Not so long ago
your slightest touch would set
my skin aflame
But now ... 
You're getting weak, Old Sun.

And Winter, he's coming for you,
and I don't know if you have
the stones to see him off anymore.
I think maybe you 
threw your weight around 
a little more than was good for you.

Hell's front porch, they said,
referring to those days just a few weeks back
when you were on fire with ...
something ...
Life and Light and Passion
that just wore us out.

Ah, but now ...
You're getting weak, Old Sun.
And Winter, he's a young buck, 
eager to replace your 
sad old ass on the throne
for a season.

Among other things. 
He surely is pretty with his 
dark hair and glittering eyes
and his feral grin.
She'll play a while with him,
but her heart probably

belongs 
to
you.
