soon rises the sun

by Peter Hsu

soon rises the sun
to remove sleep's thin hands
from my skull

okay, okay
         sleep grumbles into his raincoat
streaked with the sediment of
evaporated dreams

and dances his dusky way
out the westward window

I really like this piece except for the 'okay, okay'. If you dropped that it would improve the quality. But that is just my opinion.
