Lying on the deck in the sun

There are at least
Three layers

—Sun,
Legs,
And couch cushions

But I cannot tell
Where exactly

The sun hits
The skin
Of my shins

The cushions
Press up against
My calf muscles

A general mass
Of warmth from the sun
And comfort from the cushions

And my legs
Somewhere, sensing
The warmth and the comfort

I know that
My legs rest
On top of the cushions

And the sun
Somehow
Warms them

But when I look
For my legs
In my mind

There is only the mass
Into which the three layers
Have melted
