Spill


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.
