Pink In the Morning

Wake up sunset silver lining
Wake up moon that never ceases shining
Wake up to coconuts- to the beat of the honking tuc-tuc drum.
Wake up Kerala, open your sun.
Wake up school busses filled with children
Wake up heart beat, sweat dripping, swollen feet.
Wake up chai tea, bananas and me.
Wake up pink sunset.

Wake up burning garbage, wake up hungry children wherever you are.
Wake up pretty city, pink lady, circle shady.
Wake up to workers, flips flops and chanting.
Wake up to Mosquitos, Kerala, and me.


Wake up night, and wake the day, the morning is calling
to everyone it warms.  We are in bed, a pink morning is ahead.
