Nude Standing by the Sea Straddling the blue equator you heaved your pyramids skyward, people preened on the polished floors. Gaggles of anxious caucasians scowling at golden angles tangled in concave fluorescence. When they kill the lights and clear off, the night watchman weeps for all those sad Pollocks posing as colours of stars. Blue pastels turn black in nights pooled beneath yesterday’s eyes - gray, slack, like blood lodged in ankle veins, the edges of oncoming storms. Standing near the edge of the sea have you noticed the smell of the palms in the rain? It’s like that feeling you get, leaving some place you’ll never get back to.
