Granite Dawn

proverb and expectation

dictate a glorious morn

scarlet singing sunrise

Apollo anointed

 

golden tongued streamers

disentangling dark

of world and thought

from Nyx’s ether

 

blazing luminary

lighting and lightening

temporal burdens

from sleep-stooped shoulders

 

disenchantment mourns

a greyed and heavy cloak

drizzle drooped

upon Aurora

 

dawn, cracked and leaden

seeps nebulous glimmers
