His Sunset Years

   in his sunset years he daily 
traversed a mile to smile
waiting  
             w a t c h i n g

the lilt of phantomic voice to 
O P E N   his

serpentine a slither across 
a languid lunar lake
                 nebula a backdrop floss
elegant as cobra         s

a myriad dragonflies 
led her to phosphorus 
rock as home to hide
decipher sweet purpose
               DIVINE

to magnetic pluck

mannekins attempting to serve 
her manna between a cascade 
of malachite crystals                 ***

her green tongue caught
its nourishing nutrients
