windows on a sunny winter afternoon (ann arbor, michigan) (to be read out loud)

Quick, curtains, make way!

It is the sun!

who barely ever pays us a visit.

"Enter, enter!

Please, make yourself at home!"

it difuses through three sides of the small room

creates a refuge of soft golden light

illiminates and LIFTS the room right out of the cold reality

into a warm silent refuge.

It will leave soon...

Absorb, absorb!

try to capture it!

"Don't leave just yet!"

I'm trying to capture you

in my pores and

in my notebook

so I can keep you with me

long after you've moved on

to the next house.
