A-Z challenge for last poem-a-day

Marian challenged us to write using words beginning with every letter of the alphabet, in order.
She even provided a link to a post where she had done it four times.
I have been struggling with it since midnight last night, waking up during the night, scribbling things in the margins of magazines in the bathroom because turning on the computer would wake the dog, who would want food, and want to go out, and all those doggy things.
Sigh.
So, this is the best I could do. I've written another poem for today, which will be posted to my blog but not linked to Real Toads because it doesn't meet the criteria for today's challenge.
Sigh again.

above blue,

clouds divide

evening,

from

great heights.

I just know

long mornings

never open

perfectly.

queer red sunsets

tempt uncaring

viewers,

while Xavier

yells “Zap!”
