A colourful moment of wa(o)ndering, in what the poet calls "the texture of my missed sunrise". The seasons are rarely this delicately entwined with love.

2.8.
the texture of my missed sunrise
wrapped in amber arms and a smirk
fluxing in the newborn light:
I’d’ve flung myself in arms that begged to hold me
if I’d known they were there
I’m staring into your distance, someone
singing in my buttoned ears
—chops for my cubical existence
wandering mind
there’s cement beneath us in springtime, still cold
to the touch of jean-clad cheeks,
this tank top rag doll
folded into your lanky figure,
patient for day
I’m trapped, sometimes,
in fleeting shadows—moments that shouldn’t feel
like midwinter sun taunting,
glaring winds
tangling the air, hair
falling in your solstice eyes,
but they do
.

Today's mess. Do I sound melancholy? I'm not, not really.

This is one of my favorites from you, and (belated belated belated) congrats for it on DD. I really like the overtness of "I'd've" for some reason. "I’m staring into your distance" is really quite good; it and other small phrases in this have a very subtle poignance. Very well done on this one.
