You Can’t Sunbathe in Winter

You never quite realize the season has changed

till you leave your house at 4pm

dark out.

The sudden onset of night is shocking.

It feels like it will last forever –

An eternal, sunlight sings softly,

celibacy, so seasons sew surely –

from the kiss, seen simply.

of sunlight. simple sunlight shines soft.



Sunlight – and its often painful embrace – light loses light,

in its departure from our day to day life likely light.

we are often what seems impossible like light lights

And makes easy little

at a loss for what used to be light makes light.

simple



Simply put – winter light makes like Godot

and in our waiting





So winter makes light.
