See how sunlight leaks from your eyes,

        like tiny pores of neon light

       beaming through a fabric filter.

See how rain scrubs away your dirt,

       as you unfold into new skin

       looking like new eden.

See how lighting races across your body,

       like a black athlete stretching forth

       to catch time before it passes away.

See how night pats you to sleep,

       like warm lullaby falling like

       snow from sky mouth of a mother.
