Valentine Beginning with a Haiku

The all-encompassing one —
the sun caught sliding
along a toad’s tongue
it’s ten degrees cooler
when the toad sleeps in
I mean the sun
in its bed of down
in its bed of doom
the toad is the sun
or is like a toad leaping
into the sun
would it were
the midnight sun
and I and the toad
were one
