Dale Gregory Cozart Poet Imagism

Blood and Coral

Dusk seeps lapis
The horizon looms in blood and coral
Crows emerge from peacock plumes
shrieking caws of darkness
wings flap their incessant onyx
Talon wounds of starlight 
multiply and meld
into the coming day
the cover of night perforated
into salmon blooms and cornflowers
