awakening beneath
a pale yellow Sun
the hidden stars of daytime
sip champagne
in clear cups
then start to wobble
back and forth
these shy ecru stars
give drunken whispers
inhale chartreuse air bubbles
and fizzle
laugh at the antics
performed in
the stars' drunken state
velvet and chamois
painted on the edges
of a now tipsy Moon
cloak and dagger beams
hidden in the creamed blush
of lemon squares
make funny faces
at the **** flavor
of lemon meringue pies
and try to keep the earth
from spinning around
