Key West Skies

gossamer twilight
impending nightshades clamor

     for sundry
          ammonia’s
               incendiary artifacts


brooding uncultured glue
asks to crass dismissal of sunset


     streaking skies
     fossilized as memory
     sparks the lot

          where post-triumphal pantries

                                meet intangible rations



Evening Fire

stilted fortuna moon caterwauls
mendacious electric fences


     eclectic parabola
     tune ostentatious gazebos


tactile sombreros request

     tactical pursuits
     as laundry vicars
     ecliptic ascension


moribund shelves trough tatter
clinging wistful hysteria
poppers alert the altered droplets

     vicarious assumption

          past conundrum litigations


irrigating lanterns
as forests of the night
rejoinder crystal speculum

     candor trowels

          enamored masonry glamor

               scowling candles flambee.
