KA!ROO SUNRISE
© Farouk
Asvat
The night
Unobtrusively gives way
To a sunrise
In popsicle colours
Yellow
suckers hanging on silent orangesticks
Black
boughs dressed in pink candy floss
Ghostily
floating upon a misty layer of granny's hair
Lollipops
dripping rosewater sherbet
Spreading
across the velvet sky
Sprinkled
with sugar crystals
