Butterfly wings lightly flutter across my lashes. Furtively peeking around our bedroom curtains. Whispering me awake and then blushing the sky over her brazenness. Lightening the mood as she lifts me out of my gilded slumbers.
Some mornings she arrives fully robed, shades drawn. No show to speak of; total washout. Other mornings she comes naked as a newborn. All flash and there you have it! But when she dances with many veils, wow, what a show!
Here comes the sun
mockingbird’s, not beetle’s song
burlesque dancer, dawn.

The earth and sky is as close to TV as we get here. The programming is much better! Glad you enjoyed it.

Like this. The sun is still wrapped up in an overcoat here, today, but I have hopes she’ll be flashing herself a bit soon.

Too many people argue the glories of sunrise over sunset and vice versa. It’s simple, one is the early matinee, and the other is the finale. No two shows alike. Guaranteed. Sensual to be sure — but not base! Glad you enjoyed it!

Good thinking. And definitely not base. Tasteful.
