Sun escape...

The sun toasts my skin

and shrinks my pupils �"

Just a pool of blue now.

I’m seeing…

but they can’t see

the bare nakedness behind my vulnerable eyes.

My pupils hide.

This brightness, it gives me

a sun escape.

Silhouetting everything around me

to blackness.

I feel like I’m alone and

my knowing eyes can’t judge �"

because all and everyone is one colour.

My thoughts are asleep…

A bird hops cautiously and gently towards me…

So close now, the black uncovers

the radiant white or his eyes and he sits,

as his head tilts…

He can see past my pin-prick pupils.

He doesn’t use his eyes anyway,

for knowing he is instinctive and silent �"

There’s a song between us.

He flies away past others eyes in the crowd,

I’m thankful I can’t see them.

He leaves me smiling.

The clouds roll over the sun,

my mind takes over…

Still smiling, I shiver

and walk away…from the sun escape.

The sun and the water are like soul mates, husband and wife. Everything that worries me dissipates when I'm in their presence

The sun is a good way to escapte from everything else isn't it?
