Space Blue & Tangerine no more

like wind chimes by mossy hills 

& a tangerine in an afternoon light

on a melancholy Sunday…

the Sunday after Labor Day

I  

icy bays--

of indigo light & crimson seas--

of silver spades 

as scorching auroras--

of sadness

freeze his gentle giant feet & memories--

of winter 

& budding amethyst snowflakes slip from their fingers

glistening like glass bead teardrops exacerbating

smokey windows & elusive truths  

hiding behind turtle scutes 

lime like an inchworm

snuggling up with fountain mystic purple grass

prismarine streams--

of paradise & laughter 

playing with timeless sunset beaches

& running through fluorescent but withering fields 

under silky skylines

with streamer-thin strands--

of moonlight

elegantly

cas

off whimsical rings--

of Saturn

with Neptune's seas--

of lavender paper mache

as whip cream doves 

gliding like trident's 

over citadel cities 

electrifying bumblebee highlights

& mango rays--

of northern light

from rosy Rome to

icicle Iceland
