A Momentary Dazzle

Sunlight tumbles
over an open window,
then swallow-dives
into a silver kitchen sink.

Fractals of reflected iridescence
dance over China plates.

A surface tension
between a faucet and a drop of water
creates a solar flare
within its liquid release.

I imagine a mighty splash,
picture an arching rainbow
cresting over high waves.

Buoyant beams
spill over the glinting rim
of a breakfast spoon.

Love this, Eric! The imagery is apt for a poet’s eye, not overlooked and yes, overthought, and taken on. So glad I read this one! Blessings!
