Sunshine orange on brick, orange on
flat gravestones at St. Marks. Orange
the sun, dapple orange the skin,
skin much more color than skin, from
sun to shin, no shiver, no quake, lush warm
skin bread, sun orange bake.

Sunshine fleck cherry blossoms, James
points apart the gate. Pigeon dropping:
ping. Bricks. Sun on bricks, sun orange
through bars and gate. Lets stand here
in the sun by the garbage and write.

Sunshine on jeans, toast orange on black,
the birds, the birds, the birds. Situationist
shadows block heat on runny, orange sun,
orange sun. Sun color flavored bread, leg,
fruity gum in tongue, in sun, gum on brick,
sun brick, on skin.

Sunshine on cigarette butts, on shoe soles,
on blossoms, on wrappers, on blemished
hands. Sunshine on orange, sunshine on brick,
sunshine to paper, sunshine through skin,
sunshine by hand.
