Anne Bryant-Hamon
Sunrise
He makes love to me in the mornings.
We are a
sun ray lighting on a tree.
I am a leafy Queen. He
is a Monarch.
He lights upon my petiole,
then with a
sudden hush
I turn pale green.
I might have
fainted
had he not given pause,
a softly measured
reprieve.
Twice again
he flutters up and down.
Crescendos dawn
to waken every vein.
