The sun is always shining somewhere.

 

#1 TAKE THE PHOTO

Inside your dark abyss
cloaked in the infinite
self-absorbed deep
envelope of invisibility
your head is licked shut.

But you can press the shutter release
black hole
exploding
on a light beam
into a million
unzipped droplets
slipping solipsism out.

The sun
dawns
granular at first
as your image slowly develops.
Sandy edges
form and fix
fully focused shaken further
stark and shining
into being.

The inner eye blinks.
The tripped switch winks

open
one
breath
at a time.
