The sunrise here goes on
for hours
at least,
We pretend to keep
seeing rich rose tints
in the brightening clouds, as the colors
the colours
come deepening, lightening
out
So incomparable,
every day like clocks
go on sweeping round
their hands,
cobwebs of night
asunder and flown,
knocking back stars
like a round of drinks
so the ceiling of day
can come over bright
to protect what's known,
or so you'd think.
Wherever I go,
I love the sky.
It's probably my
favorite half of the world
especially when I
am here,
with you,
Our backs to the rest,
on the grass
like dew,
and drawing out sunrise with crayons
of peach, rose, gold
and blue.
