waiting on the sun
as if a little color could lift me up
off of this velcro-lined davenport
strategically placed in the southern-facing
windows of the dining room
nobody dares enter this the shrine
I’ve built over nearly a fortnight
especially the rays of the sun
hidden there behind naked trees
and the suffocating sky
january two thousand twenty-four
