Waltzing Dawn

The estrangement of
a cruising day,
plodding onto the 
dormant senses.

Ancestral musings
strewn with monotonous
contours, 
faded into crevices 
of streaming melancholy.

Smudged against the
sugary tea,
dripping hair,
soiled feet,
the erroneous space between,
the cuckoo sang 
better.
