Chrome

A chrome gun glittering 
in the hot sun raise, rays radiating 
like a heliographic rainbow,
drawn from shimmering halos 
of inferno light, hot.

White smoke from a funeral pyre,
drifts like ghosts over this lost terrain.

The hum of traffic 
on a different shore, 
each appealing in his own discourse, 
each the shadow of a passing memory, 
faces of lost in the Dream 
becoming chrome…

A smoking gun; tears fly, ragged... 
across this war-torn dominion, 
to the unknown,
on the coming thunder, it echoes 
in the canyons of a city, vast.

A figure falls, 
the shadows deepen in the halls.
Something stands tall, 

slow in elements of time...  
of a past life to no one last, 
screams of some come to different traffic. 

The hmmm of white sound!

Drones in the veins 
of the leviathan, 
elements of a life lost and lived out, 
at last, 
the chrome gun glinting 
under a hollow sun, 
heliographed.

…incoming of one, 
as the storm clouds gather 
on the horizon. 
He Dreams bitter, 
resounds with echoes down 
the Corridors of Time.
 
As vacant a car sits, 
in lost baron shopping marts 
and forgotten car lots,
the dead 
are sitting sublime 
in chrome spinning 
flashing over around 
down under a gun 
glittering under the Infernal Hollow Sun…

oppressive hell in its damnation. Eternal!

A chrome gun glittering in the hot stars, 
hot shells flying into the air, 
exploding rounds echo in chambers of ancient cities… 

a ruined Metropolis!

Raise! 
Oh! 
Death...
the reapers scream 
radiating like a heliographic rainbow...
as the shells spin to the ground, 
down shimmering halos, 
thunder resounds 
sparks alight in inferno white light, 
hot… 
burning! 
          BRIGHT!
