The Dawn

The Dawn 

Dawn’s drunken dragon yawns
from his fiery bed 
slowly sending steam to rise
salmon – peach
Breathing hinted color upon darkened sky

Lifting weary head 
ache he roars
coral – copper glowing light
and burps his pungent morning breath 
blazing 
fire engine red, burnt orange, sunburst golden flame 
firing sky 
awake
