Today all the children have been reborn,
glowing from head to toe
in new clothes. The three little girls
I saw riding here in a blue pickup truck
under the eyes of their father looked fresh
as daisies, sun-browned faces haloed
by identical new white summer hats,
& now two sisters materialize
on the beach like figments of the sun,
promenading in white dresses
with polka dots every color
of the rainbow. They go to show
everybody is created
in the image of light,
& every last day is holy.
