Rainbow Morn
rainbow morn *RainbowL**RainbowR* 

a grease puddle rainbow
rippled,
greeted him on the cement. buffeted
breezes mussed his rainbow
hair.
across the street he came to view
a colorful field. in panorama
his vision soared beyond
a dew-lit yellow sea,
frosted pink, near sunrise.

he reached the rainbow box
to clutch white mail. labels
lovingly adorned rectangles sorted
in hand, one by one. turning
to look upon trees sheltering
a small house, above shutters
dappled rainbow wings fluttered
in colorful, cooing delight.
the wind stung as it might.

he stepped over the remains
of a rainbow night
to rest on the porch stoop
with a glass jar light be-dimmed,
yearning comparison to morn.
it shattered his illusion.
much to this early delight,
it was rainbow, too.
