my jaw pretty near hit my chest
as i gawked helplessly
at the gorgeous, terrible scene
outside my window
i always knew
it was only a matter of time
but yet…
but now…
they’d done it
they’d really done it
those bastards
apollo, amun-ra
amaterasu and lugh
huitzilopochtli
all them old damned sun gods
quietly I wept
as the first orange flames of sunset
began greedily to lick
at the bright, cool blue of day
and I knew
in just a few minutes
nothing
nothing would be left
except the cold dark ashes
of the night
