I drove east into the sun

Glass almost as good as
summer’s heat on hot concrete
as I drove east into the sun
almost full up in the sky
this winter’s mid-morn.

I was reminded of a solemn youth
torn ‘twixt two lovers courting;
dreams filled with calm and coolness,
days lit with warmth and gentle lulling.
Thanos came with his promise of peace
and yet whose passion would I keep but Ra?
