Sitkan Spice Merchant

Fish flesh ceiling marinades evening in mandarin
  Paprika streaks Alaskan sky, an exploded pumpkin
  Garish stretch marks bruise tumid buttocks
  Jack-o'-lantern flicker silhouettes summits 
  
  Door open draught steers me over masts, a compass
  North chill Turmeric tingle bitterness burns sun jus
  Snuffs frail wick candle into cavern skull sockets
  Frigid fuselage discarded from flamboyant firey rocket

   Hulls doubled on calm harbour curl fetal forget me not
   Petal precious postcard sends rocking sleep to yachts
   Resistant pristine peaks poke holes blood gush painful 
   Ski slid accident on apex restores pale flesh to angel

   Pressed panes mist to witness her wings in awe, glory! 
   Nest of pick up sticks prickle, due dusk warns me
   Crept shadows of chalets' thatched porches protect
   Navy as battle ships torn apart, needle inks inject
