A Poem A Day, Poem #35

there is a sunbath
resting on her knees
a shine that swims from light
and shadow in the dappled
colors of white and black from
the tree's breathing above her
and the sky is watching with
one giant blue eye and somewhere
there is something more beautiful
than this
somewhere there must be a thing
more mesmerizing than that light
--that knee--
but i'll never care to know it
