Apollo Helios

my sweet Apollo Helios

I do not blame you

for the night 

coming in hard 

at 4pm, but it is 

hard to bear 

all of this darkness

like the cat 

it pleases me best 

to lie in the bed 

of your splendor

to follow you 

all over the house 

trying to stay warm

so remember 

that I am also

a musician and a poet

and hold me 

against your heart

telling me your stories

of all the times

you partied with 

the muses
