Hello, hell-toed Luna.

Hello yellow Sun!

Hello mellow helloes

Signifying day begun.

Hello to “good morning,”

Hello to “good night,”

Hello to the zenith,

Sill’s silly hillèd light.

“Hello,” in arrivals,

Hello to departures,

Hello to the goodbyes

In your eyes that feel like tortures.

II

Goodbye hellish Sol,

Goodbye hell-toed Solset,

Goodbye helmèd solstice

Warmèd up our help’d souls, yet.

Goodbye to the “goodbye,”

Goodbye to the gib,

Goodbye to the helloes

Of our helter held’ear trip.

Goodbye to arrivals,

Goodbye to departures:

Goodbye to the helloes

That I pass that make it harsher.

III

Hello, hell-toed Luna.

Hello yellow Sun!

Hello mellow helloes

Signifying old day done.

Hello to “good morning,”

Hello to “good night,”

Hello to the nadir

Of day one without your light.

“Hello,” in arrivals,

“Goodbye” in departures.

Hyperbola apex worse,

Hell by echo all those hails -

IV

Hello Cupid, mystic archer,

No longer let me martyr.
