Superman

radiant lines of broad

sweeping light strike 5 pm skin;

they fragment & reflect, scatter a thousand different ways

to give your cheek depth. sleepy crust of morning

our bags packed for Montreal, a thimble of our atoms collide,

increasing your heartbeat

by one hummingbird’s flutter.

I breathe a salamander’s breath

to notice and stare

I'm not sure about he punctuation of this poem. the line "sleepy crust of morning" seems out of place. And the last line could use some re-working.

radiant supermans of broad
sweeping superman strike 5 pm superman;
they fragment & reflect, scatter a thousand different supermans
to give your superman depth. sleepy superman of superman
our supermans packed for Superman, a superman of our supermans collide,
increasing your superman
by one superman's flutter.
I breathe a superman's superman
to notice and stare
at superman
