Wind whipping through naked limbs,
plastic bags like tumbleweeds.
Solace under an overcast sky.
Billows bellow out from the candied sunrise,
brief beauty unfolds in rippling hues
of taupe and ochre and violet.
I watch alone,
as the commuters argue over lanes.
As trucks trundle past.
I enjoy the parallax as
the chuffing dragon's breath
of their air brakes
grows, and then fades.
I watch alone as light begins to bathe all.
An upside-down ocean. A gorgeous abyss.
I watch alone, yet
I'd like someone
to share this morning with.

Wind whipping through naked limbs,
plastic bags like tumbleweeds.
Solace under an overcast sky.
Billows bellow out from the candied sunrise,
brief beauty unfolds in rippling hues
of taupe and ochre and violet.
I watch alone,
as the commuters argue over lanes.
As trucks trundle past.
I enjoy the parallax as
the chuffing dragon's breath
of their air brakes
grows, and then fades.
I watch alone as light begins to bathe all.
An upside-down ocean. A gorgeous abyss.
I watch alone, yet
I'd like someone
to share this morning with.
