Were There Really Diamonds In The Sun? Poem by RIC BASTASA

THE night is
diamond studied

we refer to the stars
all glowing
in the vastness of space
as we lie
rested on the rooftops
of our restlessness

AT noon
i look at the sun
i am blinded by the fury of its light

You must be wrong
i have not seen diamonds
in the middle of the strongest day

THE sun at night
is so faraway
for by then it regains its true nature back

it is just one of the stars
at night
as we have long
misconstrued it
at day
