I have the desire to be filled with sunlight, to soak my skin in as much of it as I can drink up, after the long interior darkness of this past season, the indoor vigil, in this harshest and darkest of winters, outside and in.

Quote
(...) I catch myself feeling, in a way that’s as old as I am but suddenly seems unfamiliar, light. I have felt so heavy for so long. At first I felt odd- as if I shouldn’t be feeling this lightness, that familiar little catch of pleasure in the heart which is inexplicable, though a lovely passage of notes or the splendidly turned petal of a tulip has triggered it. It’s my buoyancy, part of what keeps me alive: happy, suddenly with the concomitant experience of a sonata and the motion of the shadows of leaves. I have the desire to be filled with sunlight, to soak my skin in as much of it as I can drink up (...)

I’ll tell you what I’ll inherit: the margins
which have always been mine, downtown after hours
when there’s nothing left to buy,

Mark Doty in A Display of Mackerel eulogising beautiful luminous fish but actually discussing the problem of individuality and what it means to be one among many:
Suppose we could iridesce, / like these, and lose ourselves / entirely in the universe / of shimmer—would you want / to be yourself only, / unduplicatable, doomed / to be lost?
all, all for all, / the rainbowed school / and its acres of brilliant classrooms, / in which no verb is singular, / or every one is.
