Little girl stands
on golden tracks
of moon. Across
a long distance, people
are trying to climb
ladders, but they
fold, slide, will
not stay in one
place. One man
is hoisting himself
up by thick ropes.
Are they trying to
climb up the side
of the sun? Isn’t
it too hot? Maybe
the ladders are melting.
This place is beautiful
enough. Little girl stands
on golden tracks
of moon, content.
She wants to live
here forever.

That would be a hot climb, indeed. The sun is such a scorching fellow. Can’t blaming the child for not wanting to move.

It’s interesting how this image is interpreted so differently. Some think this girl has found utopia, or a dream, and I just keep worrying that if she doesn’t find some shade she’s going to succumb to climate change.

That’s what I like about writing from art. Everyone sees it differently. I found the little girl sad.
