Dawn

and a screech owl screams
at a white moon riding
a silver-blue sky,
hoarfrost clings to earth
for it’s ephemeral glory,
in the distance
across the diamond studded flats
Olympus peeks from beneath
her downy comforter
hued pink and blue,
from below,
rooster crows his reveille
to a yawning world...

old hound dog stretches.
