Sunrise by Joanne Faries
slap alarm clock and sigh
essential work day ahead under new norm
slurp milk and sugar coated cereal - healthy grains? nah.
sugar up for the day
sandwich meat slid between Miracle Whipped bread slices
zip lunch bag and kiss Ray goodbye
slip out of the garage quietly
car beams light the way
neighborhood sleeps
turn the corner
brain explodes
eyes widen
stop to take a picture
no one around to honk or complain
feast on the sky
explosion of pinks, oranges, purples
cloud layer ripples enhance the hues
seek your own meaning
smile. another day is born
