Figure
#9
I was going to suggest almost exactly the same as Dale did, with the enjambment, though to emphasise the twofold meaning of light I'd have gone with:

Stretched on the bed under midday light
in my hands -- like air, bare-
ly grasping that you are not there

I quite enjoyed what you're trying to do, and think it makes for good poetry if you can hit upon the exact combination that will make it work best Smile
It could be worse
