porch nap

today i lay on the porch and
worshipped the sun,
golden god.

face warm, feet bare, i
felt new freckles and
fell asleep unknowingly,
dreamt i was
somewhere and
someone gave me
headphones with phoenix,

then woke up hot and happy
in my puddle of sun
and stretched
my legs off the steps,
toes tentatively searching
for the earth, rejoicing
to find grass.

snow was melting, and i could
swear the air smelled like
daffodils.
