I am the zebra

Good morning from London. It's an early Sunday morning here and I'm reminded of a piece of a short piece I wrote about these dawning moments. It's called I am the zebra. I am the zebra. I lie in stripes. The stippled rays of dawning light float through the horizontal blades that slice the early rays. On daybreak diffuse the racing gently settle on my waking frame, stroke the cortex of my brain as I lay in a camouflaged array of color

I love this poem. Nike. So first thoughts are it reminds me a lot of Mary Oliver style. You know, the ability to look at natural, phenomena things. So the zebra, right? Just taking something natural and juxtaposing it with textures of feelings and inner elements and being able to portray that metaphorically. So elegantly. You're so elegant in how you do this. I absolutely love this piece. I also need some morning coffee. Thank you for sharing it
