dawn chorus

Light.

you arrive as if invited

lounging your golden heals

upon these sunken sockets

like you own this face!

You have robbed me of dawn

she is cowering, scared

afraid.

just beneath my bed

she shakes me so.

You know you bullied the clouds away -

my sentries!

silenced my guard dog with treats

and lying here

my eyes are now full of you.

You tempt me now with birdsong

my weakness!

then you promise a shadow to form...

or night to fall, soon

sufficient to pull back this blanket mood

And I stir, and rise, and stumble

teased by your Sirens

which stretch thinly across my yesterdays

into this new day

an attempt to make better the today.
