Sun Rings

Necklace of truth

worn around kinked neck-

star-shaped secrets

within its pearls

that glow like galaxies

against her skin.

Her moment hasn't arrived,

she waits serenely

for a shatterproof future

to notice

her nakedness-

to open doors for her

the way a lover would

if she had one.

Tomorrow, she will

celebrate three years sober,

and draw rings around

the sun with her finger,

whistling the way a bird would

while making its nest.
