Before the Full Force of Day
Grant Hope #202
As the day slips through slits
through windowsills folding blinds
a tan woman with golden blond hair
has already arrived home from a morning swim
Dressed in little but white
daybreak’s glow shimmers across as vertical waters flow
stretching to cool down as her body warms
one leg rises while her opposite hand reaches the wall behind
Spreading the water across her leg
beginning to wash
thinking of her swim and its swash
Taking a moment to close her eyes and relax
the shore is demanding with its constant waves
it’s good to come and put a foot up before the full force of day
