Quarrelsome Awakening

by Sean Allen   Mar 15, 2005


After nearly killing off one side of the Earth,
the sun moves on to start on the next
and finds himself face to face with a
congealed blanket of solid cloud known to
many as the place where land meets the sea.

In order to guide their lord as he
furiously beats through the evanescent shield,
birds and alarm clocks fitfully bleat out
their sonorous, but slightly sickening, salutations.

Daisy heads ponderously scan the sky for a sign
and Lo! Behold the East, as he breaks through.
Egg yolk drips through and Helios grunts with
youthful exertion as he widens the hole
and lets himself in. And what a quarrelsome dawn
it had been.

    Special event? All i can thin of is your anniversary with A. Though it coud be a yearly event in outerspace that i have no idea of. Whatever. I'd much rather prefer thinking that this poem means something else. A habit, or cycle of pain and anguish that someone might go through in certain periods of his life.... But that's just me :-P
