You threw
open the shutters
& the sunlight
took you
in it's arms
caressing you
with light
your nakedness
becoming golden
half of you in shadow
half of you in light
the sun's fingers
sculpting you
into a burnished statue
of itself
a glowing goddess
& you closed
your eyes & laughed
gasped as if
you'd dived
into a river of light
drowning in morning
& time.
