The sun rises Over me Like it does Over bronze statues, Making my cheekbones Appear golden, Consumed by A fiery blaze Of fine silks. But my eyes, So hollow, Seem non-existent In their sockets. I blink, Shade my eyes, Then crouch over Waiting for the rain To come. Finally, A breath of relief Turns loose The storm, Like a hiccup Of diamond Misted fingertips And dew In the Early hours Of  morning.I always have a problem when it comes to naming poems.
