Restful at Early Dawn

Early early dawn
an awkward awakening

strikingly adorned
with strengthened
norm

a loop of waterlogged
rippled
ripping and tipping
after
the storm

my storyline begins
beat guns
beginning
a beginner
in rhyme
gets a shilling

the orient
what a wonderful lie
tremors the nightingale
shatters the orientalist
in the tragedy of myriad days.

A proscenium arch
around aesthetic
enclaves of you.

you can lead me
with your hands
onto a designated
sphere

instruments are
without you
symbols of scratches
on unheard-of sands

spears of apparently
southern means
mark the offering
of foreign desires

whilst wiped with joy
whipped by fluttering
waves of sweet water
in the background
of a possible heartache

homogeneity is ultimate
the revelation is perfect
a cantata to prespire
pressures probability

all  around
a proscenium arch
around aesthetic
enclaves of you
