Orange

Sunspots stain the smoking lenses, sedation shades the restless sea, gradients of tangerine kiss surface burned tranquility. Beyond the dreams of hungry eyes, skyline licked by orange tongues, street lights blinking into graves, microcosmic dying suns. Bleeding hearts on promenades patrol the run down pallisades, a universe breeds parallels of purple prose and love parades. Beyond the humpback of the bridge, through latticed bones of iron rust, sinks the orange basketball, liquid gold to dirt and dust. Dreamless sleepers congregate as fading strands crawl on the skies, and loneliness concealed within then laughs until it crys.
