today is the daylight
when winter first feels like spring
when the solemn bleak nights
wait one more hour
and our mornings
are still fairly filled
with sunlight
(if you get up early enough
but not too early)
today is the daylight
when i start to be able to feel
like i can breathe again
like i can feel again
after months of frozen freezing
over and over and over again
i’m thawing
with the sunlight
because today
is the daylight.
