dusk the cold air upon this tensed body
shadow rain calms the summer earth
violet streaks across the midnight sky
from ashes we return to the summer dream
strangers burning bins and raising hell
dawn dragging the shadow through mud
rolling boil mushrooms slither down throats
before dusk watch rust bloom on iron limbs
burying the summer dream in bedsheets
