Daylight
Folder:
I Walk Naked Into a Cloud Daylight. A single strand of sunbeam bangs
against the departing moon.
Daylight. A rock on the ground shines
in isolated splendour.
I break my silence with gasping wind
which has begun the solitary journey.
My wife and life a glittering shadow,
a memory I have flashed in swirling ignorance.
Around my feet glitters the knowledge
of walking done before. So I will walk
once again, perhaps slidding past
the knowledge of footsteps walking.
I leave in simple elegance. A wave
of the hand, and I am off and running.
Gleaming with fresh coats of
tarnished adventures.
Daylight. Sunshine escaping from the
heart like flashlights burning out.
No longer will the whimpers of love-making
fill the pretending of the bedroom.
