(after late showing of Le Jour Se Leve)
he questions midday,
abundant in her bedroom.
"The winter sun is gentle,"
lies soft in her mouth.
Still, he prefers a bit of shadow.
She draws closed the curtains and we wonder
what her skin would have confessed
in a slow wash of light.

lorencinoover 15 years agoA perfect example of the title playing a powerful role inside the poem. Like in the movie, daybreak reveals the suggestions of what happened in the long dark night and his insistance on remaining in the shadows suggests a desire to dwell in the present.
So few lines, so much meaning.
Tzaraover 15 years agoVery sensual, yet tender and leaves one with a slight voyeuristic feeling. The word "slow" puzzles me a little--is winter light slower than summer light?--but it seems to work, anyway. Very nice job.
