sunlight


call me apollo when your hand is touching mine

tell me i'm the sunlight on your skin. 

follow my embrace in the mirror of the lamp,

i've lit them with my fingertips

crouching beneath the sun, am i his youth?

maybe sun children have curls that fall against their cheeks

some of their sunlight in flecks of golden brown

golden angels fall onto window sills.
