Taste the Light
Taste the light,stick out your tongue
I tell him
the sky light is
bottoms of coke bottles
shattered sunbeams
into a rainbow,
stripes of color
He laughs a four year old giggle
and sticks out his
new pink tongue
Yum! he says and swallows
the whole morning
in one gulp
a cloud passes over
the skylight
and his face,
where did the rainbow go?
I ate it ! he laughs
and shows me his tongue
with pride.
