dawn

the touch that teased you awake
that traced your jawline,
your eyelids
that you brushed off as early sunlight
once those eyes opened

did some part of you open, too,
still half dreaming
lean into that heat gently

for a moment
aware that it was me?

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?
