Sunlight

Your fluorescence is sinking into my pores,

Bloodstream, corneas, bloody

Everywhere. My footsteps shine

With you’re a-million-carrot glow, little

Luminous droplets of fairy dust

For wanderers to follow, if they

Choose. Like golden breadcrumbs.

The wood has become these brazen towers,

That gingery hut transforms trippingly into

The tempting trappings of regular

Life. But now, right now, follow me-

You’ll now where to tread,

Just follow the light – light like

You’ve never seen lighter light before.

Wait, don’t go, don’t fade, stay –

Keep your shine on me,

I’ll lead the way.
