This collection
of exploding emotions
Cobalt cloud mischief
contrapuntal
With lightning jazz
stroboscope twilight
This atmospheric argument
so Articulate
Our United serenade
An organization of confusions
husk over peace
The husking of serenity
A tympanic twilight
Everyone palpating
In the strobed darkness
When an electrician reaches
A live wire
There’s relaxation
Stare back at the twinkles
In candle light.
