Collision On The Gate

In ghostly white of midnight as sky- shadows trace gossamer streaks , I become a recluse, losing tracks of stars' grave hues and the flavor of meadows in snow grow bitter...the bronze gate reeking of metal cold, again --frozen like my rusty, numb thoughts.

And now, dim clouds reflect frozen bodies of kin like grief stricken portraits , pale as folded , bloodied sheets... and I turn away from this mashed scene on a vintage gate, grating flesh in drills of shock ...my recluse core, seething ' Leave me alone...'
