Sunrises
Every which one
I miss
When it’s freezing
On your roof
And you’re sitting there
Looking at the rising radiance
In pink and orange and
Finally yellow to white
To make the atmosphere
Glow its awesome cobalt
Yet to bring warmth
But it already brings light
To dawn away the dusk
And your gorgeous amber
Eyes crack with the cold
Like glass globes of the world
Cheeks turn colors of fall
Blushing with the ferric frost
Of a clear sunrise morning
While you gaze at a star
The same one we’ve both
Been under for far longer
Than we’ve known
Each other
Still I know when I’ve woken
And look out my window
That somewhere out there
Early this morning
You were on your roof
With red cheeks
And breaths rising with fog
Drifting off of cold dew
