Premium Member After the Hurricane
The sun illuminates where former smile,
a crimson sunset into the crypsis
fades. Optical illusion - boat upside-
down, sails sullied, the upheaval of grit.

My sight ebbs and...

I've got a dish of killifish
I wish to eat that silly fish
Baked, or fried in peanut oil
Roasted, dried, or let to boil.

Make me a star-gazy...

Sleeping through a sturgeon moon:
Plump with caviar roe, green like corn,
swollen with grain, full and red burning,
squinting through forest fire,
pigeon-holed by sky and telescope,
barked at...

Secure sailing sloop
Skimming Sargasso sea

Slammed, sending seamen
Swaying, scrambling,...
