A Twilight Lens

A fish crow has tan-
blue sparkles; pearls coat the sky.
A resting brook 

is melting chocolate, 
it flows through lime-green sprouts. 
A burning orange 

is the sun;

yet a rock can wears 
its hue. A stick curves up from
the water- a night

colored alligator 
that spares biped shades of dusk.
A plastic liqueur 

bottle is stepped
over; its dirt stained shape an
empty night, open.
