And When the Sunlight Finally Finds You
by William Taylor Jr.
she is beautiful
as music plays from an old radio
on a small table in a rented room
with carnation
colored walls
red wine in plastic cups
yellow light from bedside lamps
and through blinded windows
the noise and the sorrow
of the city is but
a distant music
it's a gentle place
to hide
fingers touching lips
breasts and
the lashes of eyes
clinging to the last
few hours of darkness
as a child to the last
few days of summer
and when the sunlight
finally finds you
it brings with it
a timeless and
familiar sadness
a price
willingly paid
for the chance to be
beautiful
for an hour
or two
for the chance to be
remembered
however briefly
as something other than what
you have become.
