weeping willow tree
bonsai sits on window ledge
roots yearn beyond pane

rum crashing on sand
bottle washed up drunk driftwood
hermit crab scuttles

swollen ship belly
ghost inhabiting the brine
the barren firths birth

kings throw their raw eggs
dreamers cook, less recipes
neither cleans the mess

soft
warm sand
between toes
clenched in anger
rake a dug in line
above, pus filled clouds weep
as darkening thrums crash,smash,
lightning accusations converge
striking a broken jagged glass line
to gouge out flesh wounds in calloused defeet

in the red caboose
a conductor burns tickets
of star passengers
