Dilation

Before it shaded, I was out there.  Dilated.  SunlIght on me like a wave.  Swirling flower petals gave the air shape.  I took a photo of her, once, in a similar shower of white.  Gone now.  Today, I closed my eyes to the expanded shine.  My vision was blurred and over-exposed anyway.  I listened, instead.  The heat sank into my skin.  Perfume on the breeze.  Rising curves of wind.  Droplets, on my face.  Thin lines of water are connecting the earth and sky, now.  The sky is a charcoal smudge.  Light seeping back in, around the edges.
