Why I hate the sun
The glowering morning arrives,
as the sun eats holes in my curtain.
I make a cave of pillows,
to no avail.
Light, my unwelcome visitor,
dances on my eyelids.
I turn my head seeking darkness,
but the sun is more stubborn.
Finally, I surrender to the inevitable.
Though the house is cold,
the shower's warm water cascades over me.
I hang my head under the clement stream.
I greet the day with a subversive smile,
determined to get even.
But a hundred things call out for my attention,
until night returns and I embrace the darkness.
