Calico Sky At 5:45
dusk defying
calico sky at 5:45
& I couldn’t keep my eyes off it
I had to see it change
watch the pinks pulled through the cirrus
sipped through straws
at the speed of light
then swallowed by the setting sun
& the blue fade to grey
gris grey leaving only gristle
e b o n y
finally
midnight
darkness
streetlamp spotted islands
hazy neon fuzzs
soaking up the nothingness
trying to make some sense of it all
staring
sorta silent fake inertia
a coltrane-induced coma
it’s only me
holding down the fort
finger in the dyke
till the treat twreet
cheup cheurp
& the pinks peek over the other side
intensifying
c l a r i f y i n g
i’m tired
bandanbladder buldge
drags me to my feet
gotta find relief
maybe splief spleef
focus pocus
pimlico
apartheid
i’m so tired
