a divine genesis

diogenes
is cupping liquid gold
before the imposing
dandelion emperor

on the plateau
where a cube rises
from a cube
which in turn rises
from a cube and each
are shifted
sideways

this is their sad sunshine
says diogenes
to the emperor
but the emperor says nothing
but instead bends his stalk
to allow his seedling corona
to catch the breeze

leaving a tiny
whirlyplane
silence
atop the block wide
arisen
cube plaza
