Mikaela Castledine #143 Like

When the sun is

morning high above the clouds

but comes

low and bouncing

off the floor shine and the wet pavement

outside the window just for a moment

all the picture shadows swing like vanes

and curve against their restraints

like sails

like ropes on sails

like longitude lines

for ships to follow on their arc

like a solar wind is blowing

steady on the wall

and they are eager to be off
