he reaches his radiant hand out
to her and she backpedals
away from the light.
out of all these trips,
she never expected
to see the sun here.
in front of her. naked and shining.
her hands blister.
her water rises to the surface
to worship, to show devotion.
this holy heat takes over,
her body flushes to pink
and then red.
