Creosote & Crimson

lightning

strikes

the vein

of thought:

indigo

&

silver sheets

rutilant,

clouds

of thunder

struck:

port wine cheese

&

vermouth

steeps ~

words

like rain

kiss

parched-minced dust:

sachets

of

camphor

ink

quartz of tears

&

iron rusts

pure

white

with

every

drink.
