Sun

The sun expands
its revolution
across its arched
path,
this first long
day of Spring.
Shadows pulled across
the gray grained sidewalk--
abandoning their origin.
My son rushes against
Sun’s casual decent,
to catch its overflowing
affection.
He is leaving us
without regret of enough time spent,
melting into the horizon
leaving its trail of coral
on a still canvas of blue sky
that we drown in.
