Magic in your day
Alarming bleating into slow wakefulness as the sun Begins the day, before Coffee's auto-brew aroma Dreams still whisper quietly Ethereally of nymphs weaving Flowers into crowns for the Gnomes lazily fishing under bridges Hinged wide open, allowing passage, Industry floating past, ripples pulse Joules against the shoreline Kappa watermills churn irrigation to cucumber hills Lacing the water's edge, and Milling stolen corn during the Night. Orange streaks in the sky Paint the desert sands, Quail call out to their young, Rattles heard loud from Sunning snakes, The heat grows, the dawn is now morning Usurping the sweet darkness the alarm bleats again Violently increasing, waving, screaming, Winding through fading oxen herds, Xenoliths break, fall and bound, screech against the earth Yak's prairie melodies turn to barking dogs until I'm Zapped awake into morning's promise of duty and obligation
