morning reverie
In the half-light I read While mom argues with herself She says you have daylight Don’t waste electricity Then says I will hurt my eyes Reading in bad light Mom made up her truisms To fit her need to correct Soon it will be full daylight And she will go back inside 11-2-20

Light rain
You lie down to rest close blinds to darken the room but still light leaks in Puddles on cheeks of closed eyes pull a sheet over your head protection from light rain 7-22-20

walk in the woods on a sunny morning
what is this science this magic that breaks rocks for food pulls water into thin air gathers light from sky hides a beetle from a bird that leaps from a branch soars towards the sun 4-15-20

23 hour day
I meant to walk at sunrise but daylight went without me left a gibberish note about lumens and a bank I laid back down and dreamed of vaults filled with bars of shimmering light 3-8-20

shooting star
night sky scratch of light hole torn in dark fabric let’s escape before the wound heals 2-15-20
