the dust dances too

prodigal sun.

it came back

at dawn

kissing frosted fields

and frozen flowers—

in mourning,

in repentence

for leaving

all this beauty

in the dark.

sunrise.

i wish

we could discover the morning

together, every day we open

our eyes.

be yourself

when the sun awakes;

be beautiful.

dead leaves.

the wind steals

autumn

from my fingers.

yellow and red

fragments

of broken figments,

dead leaves

falling away, 

speckling the air;

the tiny pieces

of tomorrow’s sunrise

finding their way

home.

haiku #57.

we are both shadows

of the dawn, beautiful birds

birthed from golden light

haiku #39.

reveal your beauty

in the breath of a sunrise,

awake these dead lungs

morning love.

be the sunrise

that makes me

feel invincible.

waiting for a sunrise.

she sat on the crescent moon

her blue chucks dangling in space

white stars burning around her

billions of miles away,

just out of reach.

she huddled in the chilled darkness

hands stuffed in her hoodie, waiting

for the first flicker of light

around Earth’s northern rim.

she almost missed it at first,

a small glimmer, subtle in the black expanse

a spark of life gradually expanding, 

the brightness moving up and out

blotting out the stars

and overwhelming darkness;

the luminance, almost blinding.

she sat there on the moon, perfectly still,

her eyes closed tightly

letting the warmth wash over her face

and body,

enveloped completely 

in the sun’s presence.
