The Dawn

The Sun rises...

I know the supposed science 
of light,
bips and wavy lines of
pulsed propagation

like a heart

like emotions~ 

how human feelings start
and stop, the forward/backward of time -- 
the morning news
our repeated proclamations 

stagnation and regressive 
signatures, announced and printed 
shouted over electronic airways
man’s modern-day gazettes

dawn’s transparent lush
on my face,
I admire and study – 
the brushwork of gleams~ 
patterns of my traveled summits
and depressions indented

zebra primrose blossoming, in short
what love created such marvelous
striations? Say ye a God~ surely even
the moron
in glaring absence of other proof
would not guess less?

Him/Her? Our Blessed Hermaphrodite
of sentient-being creating, of morphing-realms
unending evolving

salacious advances of life mating, 
entangling, imparting fond mysteries --  
lips of roses unfurling, curling, inviting
nearer breaths for uninhibited exploration – 

such exposure awakens and sleeps
yet we sense beyond-maturity

delve the wizard behind the curtain

all us Dorothys

trying to find a true way home
imaginable, at least a steady firmament though we
slip precipitously – My thought, to dust, clean and change

the sheets, as a new warmth attempts to re-freshen 

recover nature’s veiled cycles our nightly often deeply
staining retreats
