Sunkissed

A Poem by Juana Garcia

A 10 minute scribble for NaPoWriMo.

I couldn’t catch the sunshine
although it glared at me and hit me from
the eye, down to the gut, down to..

I couldn’t catch the sunshine
though there I was with arms
outstretched and a vast open sky.

I couldn’t catch the sunshine
but it burned me slowly. then
suddenly, and unexpectedly.

I couldn’t catch the sunshine
with my palms clenched and unclenched.
Perhaps it was never really mine.
