Undressed

a pitcher of sunshine
pours through undressed
window glass
a pure liquid gold
to pool on white sheets
crumpled in disarray
drenching exposed toes
kissing ankles
to settle on veiled thighs
how warm starts my day

Oh, the hint at what might have happened before the sunrise is absolutely elegant here. "Undressed window glass"....wonderful phrase!! May all your mornings start this way. Lydi**

The bliss of mornings, Chris, so much better than being otherwise dredged out of bed by pressing matters!🙏🏻🕊

There's a super sensory feel to this, and I enjoyed it a lot. It flows, just like the liquid sun it talks of, and I have a couple of suggestions for accentuating the flow and liquidity even more. First, kissing and settling are not especially liquid verbs. They work well, but had you considered alternatives? Second, I love the way the economy of the poem helps maintain or assist or even create the flow, and I can imagine a slow voiceover reading it over suitable footage; and in that regard I personally might drop 'glass' on the 3rd line. But all that aside, it's a lovely read, and thanks for posting. BRs 'Glen'
