I reciprocate sunrise via
roasted scent of rice and tea

sleeves fall whole post-sleep
toward this hand-filled bag of tea

as dry blue morning equals
the mock orange dogwood and magnolia

slippers mask floor's echo and its shine
no natural line between two points is fixed

infinity intones proof of itself
in yellow petals pastel wild as small

footprints make earth new
mistakes now covered shift the view

first syllables remain thought amid
the shoots of early light and dew
