Dawn Walk
cannot sleep
have to walk through the dark
to find myself
Sunup arrives
trundled out by painted clouds
for a melting instant
flamingos dance across
a shivering horizon
the day will warm its face
by thawing its smoky breath
on the back of a sleeping groundhog
by running bare
through creaky bushes
after all it is summer
the drizzle
will soon stop seeping
from new filled lakes
dry its sodden dreams
on drowsy leafage
the new sky roams around
for a while
adrift in its shadow landscape
then it slips through a gap in the fence
gleaming out
startled by its own revealing
