Sunrise

It is 

in my nature 

to tease

to test boundaries

to try and set light

to the fuse of your attention

so that it may burn

when I am elsewhere

look into my 

merry eyes

and you will see distant explosions

they are not destructive

they are just strong enough

to rock you 

on your feet

if you have come to 

wakefulness

to the morning of your own being 

if the book that you 

have opened

is filled with the truth 

of yourself

then my work here is done 

I am imagining you

unfolding charts 

on the breakfast table

and plotting a course 

to a place 

where you can experience

the sunrise 

of your own heart.
