a pitcher of sunshine
pours through undressed
window glass
a pure liquid gold
to pool on white sheets
crumpled in disarray
drenching exposed toes
kissing ankles
to settle on veiled thighs
how warm starts my day

There's a super sensory feel to this, and I enjoyed it a lot. It flows, just like the liquid sun it talks of, and I have a couple of suggestions for accentuating the flow and liquidity even more. First, kissing and settling are not especially liquid verbs. They work well, but had you considered alternatives? Second, I love the way the economy of the poem helps maintain or assist or even create the flow, and I can imagine a slow voiceover reading it over suitable footage; and in that regard I personally might drop 'glass' on the 3rd line. But all that aside, it's a lovely read, and thanks for posting. BRs 'Glen'

“Undressed window glass” I like that! Your poem is elegant in its simplicity. I feel as if, just as you were waking up, someone snapped a quick photo from the doorway. As usual, your imagery is strong.
