In Sunshine and Men's Glances

Sometimes, 

in my mornings, 

or in my afternoons and evenings,

or in my nights.

I imagine I can see you walking, 

striding so easily, 

confidently,

and bountifully.

Sunshine goes where you go 

as do men’s glances

which linger, 

gratefully,

often indecently,

perhaps revealing in their imaginings

the deepest doubt of all of those

the sight of such a woman as you

must sometimes visit on men;

their fear of failure.

And, sometimes, 

I imagine you making breakfast for your children.
