Illumination

 














The sunlight that looks 
through blinds past dawn 
paints stripes across 
spectral spines of books.

I like the way that looks
sliding across the white wall
when I come down the hall
for coffee.

The slant will shift
the angle sink or lift
as earth sails the sun’s
seasonal winds.

But no matter the lumens
that sight of ceiling high 
shelves stacked bindings looming 
in doomed winter dark will

shine forth discursive blooms
words woven as if by loom
enough to illuminate 
a morning living room.
