orange
balcony glows
mix drowning rays
of twilight sun
hello
into groggy
moon’s cup,
a morning brew
steeped
dark
rich
mellow
sepia.
ribbons of honey
drip
between iron rails
below.
drones unaware
seek stamen
dusty stubble
for
cobbled walks.
intersections
lead
hungry walkers
to bloom,
a soft grotto
found.
