tottering throne
wrestling with my dismay
at the moral decay while
knowing with my mind
it is a distraction from discovering
who or what is the power behind
the visibly tottering throne
laugh of the morning
poem about an unusual sunrise
outlandish smudge of dawn
like blackened orange
smeared at the distant horizon
more threatening than promising
the imminence of a new day
