Dawn is yawning
Orange and white
Erasing nights dark
Blues and black
A skied pallet
Of warm colors
Sleepy trees stretch
Full of birds
Beginning to chat
Dew diamonds sprinkle
Blades of grass
Like spun webs
Of sugar cane
Coffee maker gurgles
Gargles and groans
Streaming into cups
Two in hand
Spilling a bit
Kissing you awake
You kiss sip
Smile and wink
And like birds
Begin your delicate
Morning song repertoire
