The Sun is Melting

Starting at the top,
golden droplets glide
down the gooey surface
of the sky's light bulb.
Like a melting ice cube
the giant star disintegrates.
Liquid sunshine leaks
onto the earth's crust
staining the globe.
Finally, after every drop
paints the ground
the sky goes dark
but the earth stays awake
for light still emanates
from splattered sundrops
which lay littered
across our home.
