Spreading Sunrise With a Butter Knife

I opened up the sunrise
And used a shiny butter knife to 
Spread it across the horizon
I watched it melt over a fresh,
Warm new day
There was the dark memory of 
Evening still lingering
Like black coffee
 the strange 
Shade of moonlight
 faded slowly as the day wore on
