Dawn Walk

Cannot sleep,
have to walk through the dark,
the unlit rain.

Sunup arrives
trundled out by harnessed clouds.

For a melting moment
liquid flamingos dance across
a shimmering horizon.

The new sky roams around
for a while
adrift in its painted landscape,

then it slips through a gap in the fence,
gleams out 
on wet unfolding wings.
