Sunshine, in the mornings,
spills. It
slips and slithers as it
tills.
Routine and unremitting,
yet still,
I find it
bestilling —
how the Sunshine
unravels and ribbons,
like the crest
of a breaking wave.
I’m always drowsy
in the mornings,
from eyeing the light
and the course of its routes.
But I love the taste
and the remedies of Sunshine
in the mornings;
as the rays flood up
to my lips, it
reminds me of spilt orange juice.
