Aghia Sophia at Sunrise
across the palace gates
and reaches for the dome,
the high and fabled
galleries of stone.
Gulls wheel in
across the Golden Horn.
I am alone,
contemplating dawn's
Byzantine mode -
a reminiscent lingering
on walls of coral
and dull gold,
a heightening of colour
as the moment opens
like a rose.
