Aerrenfyrre (Mars & Mercury) Poem by Sonya Florentino
Aerrenfyrre (Mars & Mercury)
You are the a i r ethereal
The quick! ephemeral
The a i r - the wind - the sky!
I am the flame! fanatical
The hot! insatiable
The un! controllable fire!
We two are Mars and Mercury
Aerrenfyrre too much! -too quick! -too soon!
Will you still put me out
Or will you f~a~n the flames
And shoot! me to the moon!
You are the a i r ethereal
The fleeting ephemeral
and I your dream's desire
I am the b-l-a-z-e unstoppable
The heat! un*bear*a*ble
And you! ... my funeral pyre!
so imaginative! so sensual and witty at the same time. I know you must have had fun writing it.
Adore this poem, Sonya, read it out loud as you adviced and the effect is very original :) A treasure. Thank you and best wishes. A.
Note: In order to fully enjoy this poem, you have to read it out loud. But before doing so, imagine yourself as Audrey Hepburn, then recite it, following the punctuation marks, in her breathy love-struck voice. Good luck!
