暁 - Dawn
A pale vampire Dawn freezes as the first red Sun Dawn pries the night open; that Sun Dawn is a bright 日-disc peeling back shadow.
Day Dawn arrives like gold fingers combing the fields and snaps the vampire Dawn into a straw scarecrow-night undone.
See 暁 Dawn as 日 (the Sun Dawn disc) beside a stacked mound (垚/堯) that the Sun Dawn pushes up: picture the Sun Dawn forcing the vampire Dawn into daylight and you’ll always recall “dawn.”
