Dawn. I thought I wouldn’t get back to sleep

I was going to call it “Draped Profile”
When held from both sides.
Distinguish the feel. “Pronounce it.”
That’s good.
Now draw the strings. Ok
— what do you know!

It goes off the air base,
Hard to shovel, soft to fall
When white, blue, rank
— lavish as to give us each pause..

When the no-pause button is whoosh
In your face all shiny.
