just to be alive ...
one long shard of sunlight
through a gap
in the bedroom curtains
touches my tear-streaked face
FYI: L1 alludes to the following:
...
it is a serious thing
just to be alive
on this fresh morning
in the broken world.
I beg of you...

my four-year-old son loses
count of wishes

waterfront stroll ...
rising over the pole lights
a flower moon
Added:
alongside a sunbeam
jogging to the edge
of my daydream
Added:
the splinter moon
at our bedroom window
her knife-sharp words
