sunrise on new horizons
five a.m. fog breaks
for seafoam skies. I teardrop
across dewy grass.
with neighbors asleep,
my kalimba steps shapeshift
into pearl softness.
I airplane, weightless—
sand underfoot & summer
shells ocean-gleaming.
kindest good mornings,
a honeyed tongue unneeded.
amber love comes free.
