Dionysus' Deciduous Dawn
The road before dawn
Smoldered under the
Sinuous ray of one morning light
As pearly mushroom buttons
Tailored the brass netted lawn
A fog rose amongst the thorns
Fluorescent diamond caps shimmered
On an emeraldescent vine while
Spirited leaves, feverishly
Strummed the grass, and fueled
A brazen, feline Argonaut
Rolling deep, unsettling the frost, silencing
The hymns of First-Light-Genesis
Deafening purr and wanderlust
Swiped the diamonds from the vines,
Plagued the pearly mushroom buttons
Tore the deciduous leaves of dawn
Opal garden innocence; glowed, only in remembrance
As the sky began to burn, misty doors dropped
The birds woke, the wind nodded, the road stretched
Smitten hard as one ray multiplied!
Everyday we are born, the sweet smell
Of birth, aromatic and intoxicating
Everyday we drink in all that we can
We drink it all in, for we believe it
To be our last…but
Come back to the feast
Every morning come back
You, impoverished
Brimming with hunger
Dogged with thirst
Flushed with frivolousness
Dionysus' deciduous dawn,
Will fill you
Again
