Helios' March
this morning's sun
on your mark
gets set for spring
catches you
walking naked to the kitchen

Great ending!
And I like how you personified dawn breaking as a race.

Nice one Paul, the ending is great.
My only query would be about 'March' in the title, is it simply a month reference or is it a play on the double meaning of 'march', if so then a 'march' feels at odds against the race that you have set up in the poem.
I'm out of practice with all this critique
