Dawn + 

Ecstatic bird songs pound + 

the hollow vastness of the sky + 

with metallic clinkings⁠— + 

beating color up into it + 

at a far edge⁠—beating it, beating it + 

with rising, triumphant ardor,⁠— + 

stirring it into warmth, + 

quickening in it a spreading change,⁠— + 

bursting wildly against it as + 

dividing the horizon, a heavy sun + 

lifts himself⁠—is lifted⁠— + 

bit by bit above the edge + 

of things,⁠—runs free at last + 

out into the open⁠—! lumbering + 

glorified in full release upward⁠— + 

songs cease. + 
