Sunrise between leaves
ignites neon green glowing—
exploding the sky
the graffiti sleeps
yellow waiting for their disk
of light like mixed paint
coffee ambrosia
wakes us with eggs and sausage
to reality
Clear Creek washes us
clean of sin or innocence
blank slates for a day
Beer, tears and smiles
meant for you, me, meant for us
fleck public places
laced hands and sweet talk
interrupt clever timers
launching adventure
Margaritas drown
studying sailors at sea,
setting new courses.
lamp light turns moon glow,
wet metal bench, a warm bed,
flip-flop footsteps, dance
I pray to goddess
the divine will sleep in peace
forgetting our sins

Sunrise between leaves
ignites neon green glowing—
exploding the sky
the graffiti sleeps
yellow waiting for their disk
of light like mixed paint
coffee ambrosia
wakes us with eggs and sausage
to reality
Clear Creek washes us
clean of sin or innocence
blank slates for a day
Beer, tears and smiles
meant for you, me, meant for us
fleck public places
laced hands and sweet talk
interrupt clever timers
launching adventure
Margaritas drown
studying sailors at sea,
setting new courses.
lamp light turns moon glow,
wet metal bench, a warm bed,
flip-flop footsteps, dance
I pray to goddess
the divine will sleep in peace
forgetting our sins
