Dónall Dempsey - ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' CATCHING THE SUNLIGHT

The sunlight
arranges its shadows

delicately placing them
in position

as it were of the utmost
importance as to just

where they should go.

I feel like an intruder

as if I had
caught the sunlight

at an inopportune
moment

stepping from the shower
& reaching for a towel.

I tried to be
as invisible as I could be

not to
exist

the least little bit.

Only a silently
falling leaf

dared to say
anything at all.
