I was reading about solar energy
And the book said the sun is the most abundant source of energy available on earth
And the sun said you mistake my everything for nothing
And I said fuck
And I said I know how that feels
And my ex boyfriend looked down and said fuck
And my ex boyfriend looked at me and said an apology that was made of words
And I said an apology that was made of regret
To the most abundant source of energy available on earth
And the sun said I forgive you
And I said I forgive you
To the boy who mistook my everything for nothing
To the boy who I mistook as the most abundant source of energy available on earth
And the sun said hey I thought this poem was about me
And I said give me one second, jesus christ
And the sun said that guy gets all the credit for my work
And then muttered something under his breath that sounded like ‘carpenter my ass’
And I said don’t be bitter
And the sun said hypocrite
And I knew he was right
And I looked at my ex boyfriend
And said I forgive you and this time it wasn’t made of words
And the book said more and more communities are discovering the benefits of using renewable energy
Will your community be next?
S Janus likes people and the art they make. She just finished a philosophy degree and is now in the process of learning from a broken heart. Poetry gives her a sense of clarity which is nice because most of the time she feels pretty confused about most things.
