Warm-up (chipping away the rust)

Insomniac rhythms justified 
By clocking time in distant places
Bright morning sun caresses upturned Eqyptian faces
Midday offerings grace Balinese holy spaces 
While unyielding urban lights strain
Silent sentinels to bull-horned passing freight trains
Disrupting muted city post-midnight soundscapes
From dried and dusty pen, virtual timewarp coaxes nascent imagery to first attempt escape
