By: Anastasia Jill
She wiped the rheum from the daybreak’s edge
the dyslexia of lights and leaves,
interplaying of sunrise waxing erratic /
Her manic Morse code shifts the wind,
the pendant falls outside the blouse of dawn /
She buries her head in the ample breasts /
the ametrine of sky /
She cracks, iridescent /
a daybreak, a prism of quartz
and girl / and glass /
