AUBADE IN ORANGE STREAKS

Dawn sneaks in like trousers 

Of a lover pulled up in dim light

Leaving the blanketed night

Still asleep in dream of a tryst


She stirs slightly with a smile

Orange bliss hints to memory 

Echoing still in slippery 

Wane of cresent moon's naughty


Glow trussed between dark 

Of cloudy semblance waiting

Chords of white egrets croaking

A hankering to remain in secreting
